This event provides a great opportunity to model and demonstrate healthy living to our students, families, staff, and community. CCPS has a goal of bringing over 2,200 people together to run or walk in an effort to raise awareness for healthy living. This event has previously welcomed almost 2,000 participants, making it the 2nd largest 5K event in Collier County. This year, we plan to grow the event.

The school district is committed to promoting wellness, nutrition, and an active lifestyle. Proceeds from the event will support District schools. Supporting this 5K Walk-Run helps impact all 50,000 CCPS students. This is one of the few initiatives that can offer that scope of impact.
