2023 F.I.S.H. 10K/5K

FISH OF SANCAP, Sanibel & Captiva Island’s only wrap-around social service agency provider, is pleased to announce their 15th annual road race is scheduled for Sat., Dec. 2, 2023.

This year FISH is restructuring their race fundraiser to celebrate the resiliency of the islands after Hurricane Ian. The organization has added a 5K to the morning’s activities, followed by a family day and kid’s fun run hosted by and in partnership with the Sanibel Recreation Center.

FISH hopes to announce other race day activities soon, and notes all should plan for a festive weekend. SWFL and the barrier island have been through a lot since Ian, and FISH has been here every step of the way. The race event is one that not only raises funds for FISH but also revels the community and how far they’ve come since Ian’s landfall.

This year’s race marks the first in-person event in recent years. In 2020-2021 the organization offered a virtual only race due to COVID and canceled the 2022 event due to Hurricane Ian. The 2023 10K/5K will also offer a virtual option, but FISH encourages runners to join in-person and stay on the islands for the day or weekend.

Support for the race is critical as FISH continues to serve the residents and workforce of the islands. Sponsorship opportunities are available at various levels and can be found on the organization’s website, fishofsancap.org.
