Race-day ready
Everything but the shoes.
Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
A Sunday Morning 5k Romp to benefit the Dayton Book Fair Foundation, the Dayton Book Fair and Rabbit Hole Books. Come dressed as your favorite Alice in Wonderland character, or any literary figure, or just as yourself! Prizes for Best Costumes! Not only a foot race but a rather unusual adventure. Bookish types welcome too! A little lame for actual running or romping? You can participate in our virtual race too.
