Join the Book It 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in downtown Monroeville to celebrate Alabama's Literary Capital while staying active in this welcoming community event open to all abilities. Come dressed as your favorite literary character to compete in the costume contest—you'll get special recognition if you choose a character from a Monroe County or Alabama author—and stick around after finishing to enjoy live music, games, storytelling, and art as part of the Second Saturday on the Square festivities, where awards celebrate both fast runners and creative costumes.
