Registrations are still being accepted for the 15th Annual F.I.S.H. 10K/5K, which will take place on December 2 at 7:30 a.m. The race will start and finish at The Community House on Sanibel.
This year’s race is the first time it has been offered in-person in two years, due to COVID-19 and Hurricane Ian. The race was held virtually in 2020, and last year’s race was canceled due to the hurricane.
“We are so excited to be able to offer the race in-person again this year,” said Maria Espinoza, Executive Director of F.I.S.H. “We know that many people have been looking forward to this event.”
New this year, F.I.S.H. has expanded the race to include a 5K option so more people can participate.
“We typically have a 10K, but we wanted to offer a shorter option this year so that more people could take part,” Espinoza said.
The race is a fundraiser for F.I.S.H., which provides food, financial assistance, and other services to people in need on Sanibel and Captiva.
“This is our only other fundraiser besides our annual gala,” Espinoza said. “It is really important to us because it allows the community to support our organization.”
To register for the race, visit the F.I.S.H. website.
