St. Jan's 5K Run
The St. J's 5K was started in 2007 as a result of a meeting held at St. Januarius Church, in which ways to reach out to the greater community of Naples were discussed. The St. J's 5K was a perfect way for the church to promote a family event and encourage wellness, while raising funds for a worthwhile community organization. So far the St. J's 5K has raised funds for the Naples Ambulance Service, Naples Community Park, Naples Hospeace House and Naples Sports Boosters.
The 2011 St. J's 5K Run donated $2,000 dollars to the Naples School Association and $220 to Naples Ambulance.
We look forward to the 6th Annual St. J's 5K on Saturday, April 28, 2012. In the meantime we encourage all of you to check out the Naples Running Group page on Facebook for information about other local events. Naples Running Group will be meeting at St. Januarius on Monday evenings at 5:30pm and at Lynnie Lou's on Wednesday evenings at 5:00pm, during the summer. The group is open to all levels of fitness and is very social.
