County of Manatee recently issued the following announcement.

The inaugural Manatee FITFest event – an outdoor showcase of local businesses and active opportunities – provides an introduction to the area’s popular fitness and healthy lifestyle opportunities. Event entry and classes are all free but pre-registration is required for the 5K portion of the festival.
