Join Apex Promoz and the Cape Coral Police Athletic League (PAL) for one of the most exciting and unique 5Ks in Southwest Florida! Catch the Turkey. Win the Glory!
This isn’t your average 5K — it’s the Turkey Tag Challenge! Two runners will be selected as the “Turkeys” and will start with a head start, wearing flag football belts. The chase is on! Participants will have one lap to catch them, and each Turkey will have only one flag on their belt. If you pull the flag, you win a prize. If the Turkeys make it through the lap without getting caught, they take home the glory!
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.
