Cops & Joggers 5K - Fort Myers

Cops & Joggers 5K - Fort Myers is an evening road race in Fort Myers, Florida, on January 9, 2027, with a single 6:45 p.m. start. It is organized by the Fort Myers Track Club, and one distance means everyone runs the same 3.1 miles together.

Evening racing suits anyone who never runs well in the morning: you have eaten properly, you have been on your feet all day, and your body is at its natural peak for speed. The trade-off is planning. Keep lunch light and finish it three or four hours before the gun, avoid the temptation to do too much earlier in the day, and warm up for a full fifteen minutes since a 5K is over before a slow starter has settled in. It is a friendly, low-commitment race, and a good first one.
