Run or Walk the Rounds for Nursing 5K

Run or Walk the Rounds for Nursing 5K is a new community event in Port Charlotte, Florida, hosted by the Rotary Club of Charlotte Harbor. It offers two 5K options: a timed Run/Walk 5K and an untimed Walk 5K, both winding through the scenic Centennial Park trails. Proceeds fund scholarships for local high school graduates pursuing nursing careers, addressing Southwest Florida’s nursing shortage.

The race includes overall and age-group awards, with Rotary swag as prizes. Age groups run from 0–60+, and sponsorship opportunities are available. The inaugural event emphasizes a healthy community spirit and supporting nursing education. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
