RACE FESTIVITIES AND GOODIES
The Publix Run to the Arts Fun Run kicks off Sunday morning February 6th. Your registration fee guarantees you a spot in the fun run as well as runners-only goodies.
ARTISTIC T-SHIRT
You'll get your very own Run to the Arts t-shirt with beautiful art by an ArtFest Fort Myers artist. Your choice of styles -- standard straight-cut with crew neck OR ladies fitted cut, with v-neck. Both styles are made of the same great high-performance quick-dry fabric.
Want the swag and none of the sweat? Register for the No-K for $30. Enjoy the event and get the t-shirt without having to participate in the 5K.
