Something spooky is taking over the fairways this Halloween.
Join the Fort Myers Police Department and Apex Promoz at Eastwood Golf Course for the Ghost of the Coast 5K, a Halloween morning filled with running, costumes, candy and family fun. Participants will take on a scenic 5K course through one of Fort Myers’ most unique race locations while all you ghosts, goblins, pirates, superheroes and other creatures roam the grounds.
The race will benefit the Fort Myers Police Department Police Athletic League (PAL), supporting programs that serve local youth through athletics, mentorship and positive community engagement.
