Newtown Library Company Warming Up For October 5K

NEWTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The historic Newtown Library Company is taking registrations for its annual Library 5K Run/Walk to be held on Saturday, October 5.

The Race For Reading is again being held in conjunction with Newtown Market Day, an old harvest tradition where long ago local farmers brought their crops to town to sell while enjoying a day of festivities and contests.

"The 5K aims to promote community engagement and raise funds for our historic library's programs, initiatives, operations and maintenance," said library board president Donna Gusty. "By participating, you will not only be supporting a great cause but also gathering with fellow community members to kick off the 48th Annual Newtown Market Day."

For those interested in participating as a runner or walker, visit the Active.com website to register. "We encourage everyone, regardless of their running experience, to join us. It's a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the betterment of our community," said Gusty.

"Alternatively, if you would like to support our event as a sponsor we have various sponsorship packages available," adds Gusty. "By sponsoring the 5K, your business will gain exposure to a wide audience at this popular annual Newtown event. It's an excellent opportunity to showcase your brand's commitment to the Newtown community and support local initiatives."
