We are very fortunate to live in "Paradise" here on Marco Island, However not all children get to experience many of the thing we take for granted. We the Kiwanis try to bring a little bit of cheer to those kids and promote leadership in our community.

All proceeds from this along with all Kiwanis Events go directly to support local Kids in our surrounding community.

Come join us for the annual Marco Island Kiwanis Family 5k! Whether you’re running for time, jogging, or walking, this course will provide beautiful views with a Gulf breeze from beginning to end.

The course will go through the serene and scenic streets of Hideaway Beach.

The race will begin and end at Tiger-tail Beach on Marco Island at 8:00 am, Check-in will start at 7:00 am

T-Shirts will be provided to all pre-registration, day of registration until supply last.

Get ready to lace up and make memories that will last a lifetime! Do your future self a favor and be a part of a day that sparks joy that lasts long after you cross the finish line.

We welcome all runners from our community to run with us. You will be so glad you joined the fun!

Anyone who has been to a Girls on the Run 5K knows that it is unlike any other running event. It is a celebration of and for the girls who are completing an 8 week season of Girls on the Run programming. By the day of the 5K, their enthusiasm is so unbridled that they are running around before the race! Positive energy abounds as the girls dance to warm-up music, get their hair “happied” and "tattoos" on their faces, and gather with their teammates to hold hands as they head to the starting line.
