Southampton Free Library hosts 100th anniversary Virtual 5K

Southampton Free Library invites community members to celebrate its 100th anniversary by participating in the library’s Virtual 5K.
Everyone who registers through Aug. 16 will be guaranteed either a T-shirt or a gaiter with the 100th anniversary logo and be entered into a raffle for a Fitbit Charge 4.
So what is a virtual 5K? It means that how you complete the 5K, or even if you complete it, is totally up to you. There is no official race day or race course. You can run it, walk it, ride a bike, swim it or complete it in any fashion that makes you happy. It can be completed all at once or over time. You can dress up in costumes and send in pictures.

The library simply wants all participants to use the 5K as a goal to better health. Race times do not need to be submitted, but will be accepted beginning Sept. 13. The race should be completed anytime following registration until Oct. 31.
Basic registration cost is $25. T-shirt or gaiters can be shipped for an additional $5 fee. T-shirts and gaiters will be available for pickup or shipping on Sept. 7.
Registration can be completed online through southamptonfreelibrary.org or at the library.
