👟🌞 SHRIMP FESTIVAL KIDS RUN 🦐🌴
Kick off Shrimp Festival season with a fun, feel-good fitness event just for kids! The Shrimp Festival Kids Run invites young runners in grades K–5 to take on a ½-mile out-and-back beach race at Crescent Beach Family Park, where festival excitement, island spirit, and sandy smiles set the tone for the celebration ahead.
🌴 Big Fun for Little Runners
Each grade will run in staggered starts beginning with 5th grade, giving every child their moment to shine. The first 100 runners receive a free t-shirt, and the first 200 will enjoy a free lunch at the Awards Ceremony — making this more than a race… it’s a core memory in the making.
🎉 Awards, Entertainment & Special Guests
After the run, families are invited to celebrate at Sunset Terrace, Margaritaville from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, featuring awards, live entertainment, and appearances from The Bird Gardens of Naples and the Suncoast Pirates. Lunch will be served at 11:00 AM for qualifying participants.
📌 Event Details
Check-in begins at 7:00 AM and the race starts at 8:30 AM. Online registration will open soon. This event is proudly operated by Cypress Lake High School in partnership with the Fort Myers Beach Lions Shrimp Festival.
