Registration Now Open For 10K Race 4 FISH


Friends In Service Here (FISH) of Sanibel announced that registration for the 4th annual 10K Race
4 FISH race, scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 13, has officially begun.

The 10K Race 4 FISH is being held in conjunction with the Fort Myers Track Club and is expected to attract more than 400 runners this year. Runners can download the FISH 10K entry form at
www.fishofsanibel.com/fish-10k or http://ftmyerstrackclub.com/.

The race will begin at 7:30 a.m. at The Community House on Sanibel, and will once again follow a marked 10K circuit around the island, returning to The Community House for the finish line. There will also be a trade fair, which is aimed at the runners, their families and friends, as well as refreshment tables and water stations around the island for runners. More than 40 island businesses and
organizations sponsored the race in 2011, and over 120 people volunteered to support and execute a great event.

“This race is a significant fundraising event for FISH, and each year we welcome runners from across Southwest Florida, the United States and even from other nations,” said Bill Fellows, president of FISH. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to participate in something that not only helps support a great organization, but to also have the chance to run a beautiful course on an island that was recently
named Arthur Frommer’s number one traveling destination.”

The 10K race is the main fundraising event for FISH this year; the non-profit hopes to raise a significant amount of money.
