Publix Run to the Arts is a fun 5K with an artsy twist – this full morning kicks off Sunday at ArtFest Fort Myers with exceptional art, entertainment, and interactive art activities. Runners and their guests will be the first to sneak a peek at the artist booths on Sunday morning, even before the festival opens to the public. In keeping with the spirit of the fine art festival, runners will also be invited to take part in creating a public art piece! Not a runner or walker? Join the fun as race day volunteer and receive an artsy Volunteer Shirt and preferred parking. To volunteer visit RunToTheArts. com and click on Volunteer.
