2025 Bookish 5K & Cookie Fun Run (The Year of the Brownie)

🍪 Event Overview

The Waterloo Library &: Historical Society presents the 2025 Bookish 5k &: the Cookie Fun Run (The Year of the Brownie)!

If you give a human a cookie, they will probably eat it. When they eat it, they will probably feel guilty. But if they do this fun-run they can have their cookies and eat it too!

🏃‍♂️ Race Details

• Type of Race: This family-friendly race, originally inspired by Laura Numeroff's "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", will tickle your taste buds AND benefit the Waterloo Library &: Historical Society.
