Registration is now open for the Rockport Public Library Donut Dash 5K to be held on Saturday, June 8, at 8:00 am. The family fun run and walk will be held in tandem with the Town of Rockport’s Second Annual Donut Festival. Proceeds from the 5K benefit the Friends of the Rockport Public Library.

The Donut Dash starts in beautiful Rockport village in front of the Rockport Library. The course travels along the coast through Beauchamp Point, offering fantastic ocean views. Water and snacks (including donuts!) will be provided after the race in Rockport's Marine Park, while supplies last. This event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and skills. Strollers are allowed, but be mindful of traffic as most of the race does not have a sidewalk.

Race day registration is from 7:00 to 7:45 a.m. at the Rockport Library, and the race begins at 8:00 a.m. Registration costs $25 for adults 18 and older, and $15 for ages 9 to 17. Kids 8 and under must also register, but there is no charge for them to participate. The first 100 people to register will receive a free T-shirt. You can sign up in advance at the library or online at rockportlibrary.net. If you have any questions, please contact the Rockport Library at 236-3642 or rpl@rockport.lib.me.us.
