About the Nurturing the Neighborhood with Love 5k
This race is put on by Wintergarden Presbyterian Church and benefits a local food-relief initiative that works to make sure neighbors in Port Charlotte have enough to eat. The course covers a short out-and-back or loop route near the church, and a one-mile walk option runs alongside the main event. There is a Cupid character who starts last, which gives the morning a playful edge.
Packet pickup happens at the church the evening before the race, and again on race morning at the same location. Snacks and beverages are available after you finish. The organizers also run a raffle and a split-pot drawing on race day, so it helps to have a little cash on hand.
