The final countdown is on for this year's Walk Like MADD 5K Run/Walk, to be held this Saturday morning, May 10, at jetBlue Stadium in Lee County.
Walk Like MADD is an annual event hosted by Mothers Against Drunk Driving to help bring awareness and education about impaired driving on the streets of Southwest Florida. Walk Like MADD is a family friendly event, which even encourages participation of your four-legged family members, too!
This one-of-a-kind timed event is held on the grounds of JetBlue Stadium, the Spring Training home of the Boston Red Sox. The race/walk will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday and will culminate with all participants having the unique experience of crossing home plate! All participants will receive an event T-shirt and custom medal, and awards will be given out in the various age categories.
Residents can register early at www.madd.org/fortmyers on or before 7 a.m. at JetBlue Saturday morning. Early packet pick-up will be held today, May 9, from 4-7 p.m. at Fleet Feet, located inside the Bell Tower Shops, for those who wish to pick up their shirts and race bibs early.
All proceeds from the 5K run/walk will stay right here in the Southwest Florida community to assist victims of impaired driving and to help educate the community to help keep our streets safe from impaired drivers.
