Get ready for an exciting day of fun and fitness at the 37th Annual Library Run Walk in Lodi, Columbia! Mark your calendars for Saturday, August 8th, 2026, as the event kicks off at 8 AM. Participants can choose from a variety of distances, including a 1-mile walk, a 1-mile kids run, or a 5K run/walk, all starting and finishing at Lodi Elementary School.
