On Your Bookmark...Go!

Lace up for the 4th Annual On Your Bookmark...GO!, a vibrant community event held on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in charming McFarland, WI. This race, supporting the E.D. Locke Public Library's programming, offers something for every age and ability. Participants in the 5K Run/Walk will embark on a course that winds through McFarland, inviting runners, walkers, and dancers alike to enjoy the journey. Families are welcome, with strollers and even dogs permitted to join in the 5K fun. Typical race day conditions in late September feature pleasant highs around 70F and lows of 47F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable race experience.

Younger participants can look forward to the Kids' Obstacle Dash, an untimed "fun run" down Milwaukee Street, featuring playful challenges like bubbles, cones, and limbo. For older children seeking an extra challenge, an added quarter-mile run around the library can be combined with the obstacle course. All registered 5K participants receive a knitted beanie and professional timing, while kids in the dashes earn a hat and a medal. Starting and finishing at the E.D. Locke Public Library, this event promises a festive atmosphere and a rewarding experience for all, whether you're sprinting, strolling, or simply enjoying the community spirit.
