Library Lope: Let's Dash for Books

Milton Public Library's Library Lope: Let's Dash for Books is a fundraiser created by the library's Teen Advisory Board (TAB). TAB is a group of 15 students who help plan teen services and programs. This year is the Lope's 7th year, and money raised will go towards teen programming and the teen book collection.

This year's event will be run in-person and virtually! The in-person event's location has been changed to start and end at Schilberg Park at 301 W. High St. Milton, WI 53563. We are also bringing back the 1 mile option this year! 

The 1 mile course will follow the track around Schilberg Park and the 5K will be an out-and-back around Schilberg, down Rainbow Drive, down Gailen Ln., and back to the start/finish line! 

Important times:
Check In - 7:30-8:00 a.m.
1 mile start - 8:00 a.m.
5k start - 8:20 a.m.

The virtual run can be run anywhere and anytime between August 13 and August 20. The virtual option only includes the 5K. 

All in-person participants will receive a medal and the chance to pick out a free book. 

The first 50 virtual participants who submit their time will receive a Library Lope medal. Times can be submitted HERE. Medals will be mailed out starting August 22. 

The 5k (in-person and virtual) registration fee for all ages is $18.00. The 1 mile in-person run/walk is $10.00 for all ages.
