The 21 Run is a family-friendly 5k run/walk. It is currently a virtual event, but prior to 2020 it was held each year at the Cornell’s FR Newman Arboretum in Ithaca, New York. The event is organized in conjunction with the Cornell University Men’s Lacrosse program and the Family Reading Partnership of Ithaca, and in past years has also featured a Read-Aloud and Bookmaking Tent.
