Soup’er Hero 5k
Community Cooperative is pleased to present our second annual ‘Soup’er Hero 5k Run/Walk on Saturday, October 28th, 2017 at Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers, Florida.
The event will benefit Community Cooperative, a local organization whose mission is to fight hunger and homelessness in Lee County. Proceeds from the event will support the Soup Kitchen at Community Cooperative. This year’s ‘Soup’er Heroes 5k will include an exciting route with twists and turns throughout the entire mall property, costume contests and more!
The race will begin promptly at 7:30am and people of all ages are invited to participate. Kids 12 and under can take advantage of special pricing. Runners are encouraged to dress up. This can include super heroes like we see in movies such as the Marvel characters or even everyday heroes that serve our community, such as a police man, nurse or fire fighter. This race is stroller friendly, but please leave your pets at home.
Awards will be given for overall fastest race times, as well as best costume and more! Register today!
Registration is $35.00 and registration for kids 12 and under is $20.00.
