Registration is now open for the Rockport Public Library Donut Dash 5K to be held in tandem with the Town of Rockport’s Third Annual Donut Festival. Proceeds 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.

The Friends of the Rockport Public Library introduces library lovers to each other while building connections throughout our community. Hosting meetings, events, and book sales, the organization supports the library on several levels. In past years, we have helped purchase library materials; supported the annual butterfly gardens; provided new book stacks and exterior railings; and funded programs that serve everyone using the library.

The Foundation is an IRS 501.c3 not-for-profit organization formed in 2018 by a small group of dedicated Rockport residents to raise the required funding for the new Rockport Public Library. While we successfully raised the initial funding for the building and furnishings, we’ve now set our sights on developing a world-class speaker series. CLICK HERE to learn more.
