There is only the one 2-mile race. The racecourse will begin on Bennett near the Mellen Post Office and end by Northern State Bank. This is the course that many of you are familiar with, and the race will start at the ringing of the Mellen City Hall Bell. The Awards Ceremony will be held at the Library following the finish of the last runner. Thank you to all our participants! It is such an exciting event we appreciate your positive energy!!
The Friends of the Library are so grateful for all the support they have received from so many of our local businesses and beyond, as well as all the families and family memorials that are sponsoring this year’s Bellringer Run. Your generosity helps the Friends support the library with its programs, activities, and projects while keeping the costs for our runners reasonable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
