Event Description
The 5K course includes a shaded tour of Florida SouthWestern State College's beautiful campus. Serious runners will appreciate the race bibs with chips ensuring an accurate race time. This race will be put on by the Fort Myers Track Club. You can also run for the fun of it, stroll with family and friends, or bring your kids out to the kids' dash. Proceeds from the 5K support the Take Stock in Children Scholarship Program. Take Stock in Children Lee County is a mentoring and incentive program that provides doorways to success for deserving low-income students of Lee County. Proceeds from the 5K support the Take Stock in Children Scholarship Program. With the support of donors like you, over 800 Lee County Children have earned a life-changing scholarship.
