Bronzeville Book Club Run Combines Fitness and Literature with Dawn Turner This Weekend

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Bronzeville · January 23, 2026

Bronzeville residents looking to combine fitness and literature are in for a treat this weekend as the Book Club Run featuring 'Three Girls from Bronzeville' with author Dawn Turner takes place on Saturday, January 24, 2026. The event starts at 10:00 AM at the King Branch of the Chicago Public Library, offering community members a unique opportunity to discuss a book that celebrates the neighborhood's rich history while engaging in physical activity.

The Bronzeville Chamber of Commerce, which strives to build and maintain a vibrant, locally focused economy in the neighborhood, has highlighted this event as an example of the community's commitment to cultural engagement and wellness. The Chamber is dedicated to strengthening Bronzeville by connecting businesses and the community—one member at a time, and this weekend's Book Club Run exemplifies that mission by bringing together literature enthusiasts and fitness advocates in a collaborative setting.

Residents interested in participating can register at the event page or through the King Branch Library. Attendees are encouraged to read the book beforehand, though it's not required, as discussion points will be shared during breaks in the run. Whether you're an avid reader, a running enthusiast, or simply looking to connect with neighbors, this event offers a perfect opportunity to experience Bronzeville's vibrant community spirit in action.
