Join Apex Promoz, the Cape Coral Run Group, and the Cape Coral Police Athletic League (PAL) for a 5K unlike any other! Catch the Turkey. Win the Glory! This isn’t your average 5K — it’s a Turkey Tag Challenge! One lucky participant will dress up as the Turkey and take off with a 5-minute head start before the chase begins. Runners of all ages — kids, families, and even local officers — will race to catch the Turkey before the finish line and claim a fun prize or voucher! This event is part of the Cape Coral PAL Race Series, promoting fitness, family, and community engagement. Proceeds benefit PAL youth programs, supporting mentorship and positive connections between local law enforcement and youth.
