Special early pricing to close for JOG N JAM
Time is running out to get a discount on registration and tickets for the 2025 JOG N JAM.
FISH of Sanibel-Captiva’s annual fundraiser will feature the race on Nov. 1 at The Community House on Sanibel, followed by the concert on Dec. 6 at the ‘Tween Waters Island Resort & Spa on Captiva.
“JOG N JAM is more than just an exciting event — it’s a way for our community to come together in support of neighbors who need us most,” Executive Director Maria Espinoza said. “The funds raised go directly into our programs that put food on tables, support our seniors, provide education and help families recover from disaster.”
“It’s a celebration with a purpose, and every dollar raised helps strengthen our community,” she added. “When people join and support us for JOG N JAM, they’re not just enjoying a fun day — they’re making a real difference.”
Set for November, the 10K, 5K and Kids Fun Run will invite runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to enjoy a scenic island race filled with energy, connection and community spirit. The next month, the concert on the beach will feature the popular Ben Allen Band and a fireworks display.
The cost is $45 for the 10K or 5K and $35 for ages 16 and under, which will increase after Aug. 30.
The concert is $75 or $50 for ages 7-18, with a four-pack for $200 while supplies last.
For the race, each runner will receive a finisher medal, T-shirt and the chance to place in their age group to receive a special island-focused award. The Kids Fun Run is free but requires registration, and it includes a finisher’s ribbon and treat.
The concert will feature food and drinks for purchase, with shuttle services for easy access.
The net proceeds will support FISH’s service pillars — Food, Island-Based Education, Social and Senior Services, and Helping Hands — plus long-term disaster recovery efforts after the recent storms.

The public is encouraged to take advantage of the discounts before the end of the month.
“We encourage everyone to register early — not only to take advantage of our tiered pricing and island business offers, but also to secure some great extras,” Espinoza said. “Your early commitment helps us plan for a safe and successful event, while ensuring you don’t miss out on these opportunities — or on an unforgettable event that blends fun, fitness and community.”
In addition, sponsorship opportunities and more are available for island and local businesses.
