The 2K walk will kick off at 11:00. The walk will head down Landy Ave, which is right across from the park. At the end of Landy walkers will take a left on Nonotuck Street and  then a right on Maple Street. After a short but steep time on Maple, there will be a left on Pine. Then walkers will head down Pine and circle around the Sojourner Truth Memorial before reversing the route and heading back to Maines Field.

The beautiful and challenging 5K run will wrap around the Bay State Village in Florence.  The run will start at 11:30 and the course is as follows:

Exit Maines Field and take a left on Riverside Drive. Bear right on Maple Street. Take a right on Nonotuck Street. After about a mile on Nonotuck (which turns into Elm Street) take a right on Riverside Drive. Take a right on Federal Street. Take a left on Warner Street. Take a left on Hinckley Street. Take a right on Riverside Drive. After about 4/5th of a mile take a left back into Maines Field.

This will be a very fun, family-friendly event. The Literacy Project is all about building stronger and healthier communities and this event will work to do just that.
