📚 NEW THIS YEAR: BOGO BOOK FAIR FEST
We’re bringing the Scholastic Buy One Get One Free Book Fair outside ... flea market-style, under a tent near the track.
Think: easy browsing, quick flow, and books that go twice as far.
✔️ Buy one, get one FREE
✔️ Stock up for summer reading
✔️ Open during the entire event
This is all about making sure every kid heads into summer with something exciting to read 💛
We’ve expanded check-in to keep things moving:
– Pre-Registered Check-In
– Day-Of Registration
– Merch + Color Powder Sales
– General Info / Help Table
More tables. More volunteers. Way less standing around wondering what’s happening.
👕 EXTRAS
– T-shirts available for pre-order (drop coming soon 👀)
– Color powder available for purchase onsite
– Food trucks back again—cash or card accepted 🍴
🙌 WANT TO VOLUNTEER?
We need you and we’re making it worth it.
Volunteers + their families will have access to a dedicated run experience (yes, your own moment 👏).
