Lace Up For Libraries 5K

Lace up your running or walking shoes for our Third Annual Lace Up for Libraries 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run. This year’s theme is "secrecy" for all you mystery, spy, and conspiracy book lovers.
Join the St. Johns County Public Library System and Friends of the Library for a winter warm-up 5K or 1 Mile run/walk along the peaceful Nocatee hike & bike trails. The race starts and finishes at Nocatee Station Field near the Splash Park.
Participants are invited to run a competitive 5K or simply walk the 1 mile or 5K to support the St. Johns County Public Library System. The 5K will be chip timed using disposable bibs. Awards will be presented post-race.

The First 200 5K Finishers will receive a commemorative medal! Our friends from MAPLE STREET BISCUIT COMPANY and Starbucks will bring your morning pick me up!

Shirts will be included to 5K participants who enter before the Jan 6 shirt cutoff date! We are also offering a womens crew neck option. One Mile Walkers may opt to purchase a shirt for only $15. Late participants will not be guaranteed a shirt or preferred size.

Not up to a full 5K but consider yourself a bibliophile? Come out and enjoy an easy 1 mile run or walk with your friends. 1 Mile entry for adults is only $10. Kids are invited to join the 1 Mile free of charge. Race shirt is NOT included in the $10 Fun Run. Both adults and children may purchase a commemorative shirt for only $15. Select the shirt option on the registration page. $2 extra for XXL

We also have the Virtual Race option that shows your support if you can't make it out on race day. Sign up for the Virtual 5K and receive a shirt and a medal. Your race packet will be available at the library the week after the event. Out of town residents packets will be sent USPS or UPS.

Race packet pick-up will be held on Friday, January 28, 2022 from 1 – 5pm at the Bartram Trail Branch Library located at 60 Davis Pond Blvd. St. Johns, FL 32259.
