This year is our 6th Annual Naples Youth Corporation 5k/10k!! We are happy to say our race will again be the beginning of May on the 2nd. And, wait until you see our beautiful outdoor stage!!! We will have music and announcements on the Naples Youth Corporation's brand new outdoor stage this year!! Please know that a significant amount of the funds received from our past 5 years of races helped support the planning and design costs as well as the direct costs of construction. The Naples Youth Corporation is grateful for all your past support and hope you will return once again!!
Youth 18 and under - please register under the "Youth" 5k or 10k race designation to receive your free shirt. Create a team of 5, and the team with the fastest time will win a gift certificate to one of our fine local establishment! Best of luck!
New this year - KID'S DASH @ 8:20am - 2 waves of our adorable younger runners who don't want to run a full 5k will run a short distance prior to our 5k/10k start. Youth ages 2-5 will run first, followed by kids aged 6-10 in a second wave. No registration required, just sign up with an email or on race day.
As always, we will run or walk in wind, rain, snow, or shine, and last year, we did just that - it was a chilly, wet day. We hope to see you once again with some sun this time. This run/walk still remains the major fundraiser for the Naples Youth Corporation.
Due to increased costs of supplies, performance tech race shirts will be available for purchase for adults, but our cotton shirts remain FREE for youth - thank you to our sponsors... There will be shirts available to purchase when you pick up your packet - first come first serve.
Financial assistance is available for youth registrations - please email for more information. As in previous years, 12 and under are free to register, and 18 and under are discounted to $10. Register under the "Youth 18 and under" race for further information.
If you are interested in the 10k distance, please register for the Naples Youth Corp 10k Race. Please note: Mt. Misery available on 10k loop only - please sign up for the 10k if you are looking to challenge yourself!
What is the Naples Youth Corporation you may ask?? Please read the Mission and Vision for the Youth of our community:

According to the Colon Cancer Coalition, colon cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. Early detection can make all the difference!
Strollin' for the Colon is proud to hold Toni's Race for its 15th year. The event will be held again at Stewart Lodge in Mendon Ponds Park. As with past years there will be a USATF certified (NY23008KL) 5k race to be immediately followed by a 1-mile walk. Strollin' for the Colon is a non-profit organization with the mission to raise funds to support those who are fighting colorectal cancer. Proceeds from this event will go to patients and their families who have financial needs resulting from treatment, agencies that provide education about the importance of early screening for colon cancer, as well as offer seed funding for research to beat this disease.
Along with the race and walk there is a fun run and other activities for kids. There is fun, music, food and the opportunity to win great prizes! Also attending are physicians and vendors to provide information and answer any questions about colon cancer and any related topics.
