5k Run Walk

Would you like to support libraries and get some exercise at the same time? Then this is the event for you!

Join library supporters all across New Mexico by walking or running on the Saturday of National Library Week, April 25th at 10:00 am MT. Race sites will be in Carlsbad, Capitan, Farmington, Las Cruces, Las Vegas, and Santa Fe. Live somewhere else or busy that day? Feel free to register and participate any time to support libraries, any where before midnight April 25th, 2026.

Locations all over New Mexico and various times and dates. The site host will be reaching out to you. Walk or run at your own pace with other library supporters from your community; there will be no times or winners. Our goal is that you have a good time and that the real winners will be New Mexico libraries. 100% of funds raised in Run/Walk for NM Libraries will go directly to libraries and librarians in New Mexico in the form of Development, STEM, and Professional Development Grants.

Continuing this year! Free t-shirts thanks to the sponsorship of Thrivent, REFORMA de Nuevo Mexico, The JSA Foundation, and Friends of NMLF.

    Step back in time and hit the streets to the soundtrack of three iconic eras at Run Through the Decades—a race that celebrates the unforgettable music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s! Whether you love the soulful rhythms of the 60s, the funky grooves of the 70s, or the neon-charged energy of the 80s, this event brings each decade to life—one mile at a time.

    Join us at Tingley Beach in Albuquerque, NM.

    To honor these legendary musical eras, runners can choose from three themed race distances:

    • 6K for the groovy 60s

    • 7K for the funky 70s

    • 8K for the epic 80s

    Can’t decide? Complete all three distances to conquer the Run Through the Decades Half Marathon—the ultimate time-traveling challenge.

    All athletes will receive a custom finisher medal, and we’ll present awards for all four races in the usual 5-year age groups starting at 10 & under, giving runners of all ages a chance to shine.

    So dust off your tie-dye, break out your disco glam, or rock your brightest neon—get ready to run, groove, and celebrate the music that defined generations!

    Beneficiary

    Locker #505

    Mission

    Provide appropriate school clothing to K-12 Greater Albuquerque Metro (including Sandoval, Valencia, and Torrance counties) students in need.

    Locker #505 student clothing bank is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that has established a student-focused facility where children can try on and choose outfits that they feel good about wearing. Having appropriate school clothing allows children to concentrate on their school work, not their clothing. It also helps keep children, who might not go to class because of their clothes, stay in school.

    It is crucial to us that each student is treated with the utmost respect and kindness and leaves Locker #505 feeling good.
