In keeping with the theme of Fit Life Fleming
Island, the running opportunities we will be hosting are designed
to be fun exercise and fitness opportunities for all ages and
levels. The Fleming Island Rotary Run (FIRRun) is
a well established 5k in its third year of operation. FIRRun is
professionally administered by 1st Place Sports ("Your running
headquarters"). Your finishing time from this flat, fast route
serves as a seeding qualifier for many limited field events
including the 35th annual Gate River Run in 2012. For elite
athletes and elated finishers alike, FIRRun is a first class place
to race!
All runners registered for the 5K will receive a "gift bag" of
useful prizes, including vouchers redeemable for food and drink at
Fit Life Village after the run and a T-shirt!
In addition to the adult 5K starting at 4:00, the kids can enjoy
a 1 mile fun run with their friends from school beginning at 5:00.
We have organized a school challenge between Fleming Island,
Thunderbolt, Patterson and Swimming Pen Creek Elementary schools.
A minimum of 30 students must be present to represent their school
in the challenge and the school with the most runners wins a cash
prize!! Each school with participating students will receive a
charitable donation from the Rotary Club of Fleming Island based
on total number of participants as follows: 1st=$300, 2nd=$200,
3rd=$150, 4th=$100. We'll donate another $250 to the school with
the highest staff participation in any or all available Fit Life
Fleming Island events including the Fun Run, Rotary Run, and
Rotary Ride. Come out for the fun run and show your school spirit!
After the runs, you'll find your friends & family at Fit
Life Village, enjoying the fun & games, food & beverage,
live entertainment, trophy presentations, race results for the
run, bouncy houses and slides for the kids, climbing walls, live
music from 4-5 bands, DJs & Emcee's, fitness and wellness
information booths, and much more. Fit Life
Village is open to the public with no cover charge, and gates will
open early and stay open late.
