Supporting the 5k gives your business the opportunity to support the Take Stock in Children program that is administered locally by The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, which provides a unique opportunity for deserving low-income youth to escape the cycle of poverty through education. Students are selected between the 6th and 9th grades and must meet our low-income and at-risk guidelines. If chosen, the students along with their parents sign a contract agreeing to maintain good behavior, remain crime and drug free, maintaining a 2.5 GPA or higher, and meet with a mentor regularly.  If the students adhere to these requirements while in the Take Stock in Children program, they will be awarded a four-year college tuition scholarship upon high school graduation.

Contact: info@leeschoolfoundation.org, for more information. 

Unregistered participants, unauthorized vehicles, bicycles, roller blades, skates, skateboards, strollers and pets are strictly prohibited.  Baby joggers are allowed but participants must start and remain at the back of the runners/walkers, thereby not interfering (passing, swerving between) with the other participants.

Temperatures/humidity can be high in South Florida. Participants should drink plenty of fluid (non-alcoholic) for 48 hours prior to, during and upon finishing the race. Beware of heat-injury symptoms (dizziness, no sweating, nausea, cramps, redness, incoherent speech and thoughts). Seek immediate assistance if symptoms occur. Wear loose, light-colored clothing.
