3rd Annual BOOK IT 5K Run/Walk

Get Ready to BOOK IT!
Monroeville Main Street is thrilled to host our 3rd Annual BOOK IT 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, May 10, 2025—right here in Alabama’s Literary Capital! Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual walker, you'll love our USATF-certified course winding through the heart of historic Monroeville.

We’re proud to welcome back Monroe County Hospital as our 2025 Title Sponsor! And a special thank you to Representative Thomas "Action" Jackson for his support through a 2025 Legislative Tourism Grant, helping us bring free, family-friendly events to our community all year long.

Thanks to these generous supporters—and to YOU—100% of proceeds benefit Monroeville Main Street’s ongoing programs, including:
Free Second Saturdays on the Square (April, May, June, September & October)
Art partnerships with Monroeville Middle School & the Monroe County Public Library
The Literary Capital Story & Sculpture Trails
Local murals and so much more!

Don’t miss our Literary Character Costume Contest! Come dressed as your favorite book character (bonus points if they’re from a Monroe County or Alabama author)—you might just run away with a prize!

After the race, stick around for a special Second Saturday on the Square celebration with live music, art, storytelling, games, and family fun!

Help us celebrate books, community, and creativity—all while supporting downtown Monroeville. Let’s BOOK IT together!
