Run Muskingum Audiobook Club

This unique event combines fitness with literature. Each month, we’ll listen to an audiobook as we enjoy a leisurely run or walk through scenic routes across Muskingum County.

After our activity, we’ll gather for a relaxing cool-down session and dive into a lively discussion of the audiobook we just experienced. Whether you're a runner, walker, or simply love stories, this is a fun way to stay active, socialize, and explore new books with fellow enthusiasts. All fitness levels are welcome!

Location: Meet in front of the New Concord Branch Library.  

Route: Both a 3.3 mile and 1.5 mile loop will be provided. Routes are subject to change.

May's Book will be 80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald and Robert Johnson. Access the Audiobook on Hoopla here.
