5K preteky v blízkosti San Carlos Park

Fueled by Fire 5K & Challenge má štart aj cieľ pri Tarpon Point Marina a The Westin Cape Coral Resort na Silver King Boulevard v Cape Coral, Florida. Je to každoročná 5K akcia, ktorú organizuje Cape Coral Fire Department Community Foundation. Štart je o 7:00 ráno a pre tých, čo nemôžu prísť osobne, je k dispozícii aj virtuálny 5K. Trať pre prezenčnú akciu vedie účastníkov cez rôzne časti Cape Coral. Časomieru a výsledky zabezpečuje Lin-Mark Sports, miestna časomerná služba. Výťažok z pretekov podporuje komunitné iniciatívy nadácie hasičov, konkrétne financuje CPR kurzy a materiály, vzdelávanie o požiarnej a životnej bezpečnosti a miestny pamätník hasičov. Na akcii sú vítané rodiny, chodci, bežci aj podporovatelia hasičov. Celé je to skôr komunitná zbierka než nejaké čisto súťažné preteky.

Cape Coral Police Athletic League Turkey Tag 5K je 5K a 1-míľový zábavný beh, ktorý sa koná v Rotary Parku v Cape Coral, Florida, počas obdobia Vďakyvzdania. 5K štartuje o 8:00 ráno a o päť minút neskôr sa pridáva 1-míľový beh, ktorý je super pre rodiny a začiatočníkov. Celé to organizujú Apex Promoz a Cape Coral PAL ako súčasť Cape Coral PAL Race Series a výťažok ide na podporu PAL mládežníckych programov. Do klasického behu zakomponovali taký prvok naháňačky. Dvaja účastníci sú označení ako "Turkeys", dostanú náskok a majú na sebe pásy na flag football. Ostatní bežci majú jedno kolo, aby ich chytili. Každý "Turkey" má len jednu vlajku; ak ju stiahneš, získaš cenu. 5K-čka je meraná čipom, ocenení budú najlepší celkovo medzi mužmi a ženami, a tiež víťazi vekových kategórií od 0-9 do 70+. Všetci, čo dobehnú, dostanú originálnu medailu a pretekárske tričko. Na akcii bude aj hudba, aktivity pre rodiny, vyzdvihnutie štartových balíčkov už pred pretekmi a parkovanie v Rotary Parku je zadarmo.
