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

📚 Event Overview

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

🍪 Fun with Cookies

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!

🏃‍♂️ Family Friendly Fun

• Inspiration: 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.
• Cupcake Highlight: This year we will be eating CUPCAKES!

🏅 New 5K Introduction

NEW! This year we are introducing a 5K to our event, but don't worry, you don't have to eat them along your run. We'll have some ready for when you are done!
