First Horizon Family Run for Prevention
The First Horizon Family Run for Prevention takes place at Babcock Ranch. This chipped and timed event features a course that accommodates participants of different ages and abilities. The route is open to both strollers and pets, supporting a local non-profit organization.
Participants have the option to enter as individuals or form teams. The event includes a competitive element for groups, as the largest team is awarded the Josh Trophy. Registration includes a $5.00 discount for team members. T-shirts are provided to the first 300 registrants, though specific sizes are not guaranteed.
The event features a single primary distance:
- 5K Run and Walk
Professional chipping and timing services are provided by Beach Bum Timing. Awards are presented following the conclusion of the event to the first-place male and female finishers. Additionally, awards are given to the top three finishers in several age categories, ranging from 1-10 to 71 and up.
All proceeds support drug and alcohol abuse prevention programs in Lee County, including Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) clubs and the Drug House Odyssey program. The run is a rain or shine event held at Founder's Square and the surrounding Babcock Ranch area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
