A very successful event on Veterans Day seeing runners lacing up and crossing the finish line at the Midpoint Bridge 5K. Racers like Joshua Dorsey were amped up and ready to go when they got to the bridge. “I’m trying to win. But if I can do like 18 or something, I’d be happy with that,” Dorsey said. Over racers like Sandra Duvemesserich, have made the race almost a tradition, going year after year. “I’ve run many, but it could be fifth or sixth. I don’t even keep track anymore,” Duvemesserich said. The bridge was closed from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. but has since reopened. Fort Myers YMCA of Southwest Florida was at the event getting everything ready. Veteran’s Day virtual 5K.

I’ve seen many of them and it’s just you shake their hand and you say to them, thank you for what we have.” “it’s good to have a day of just giving thanks back to them because, you know, they write that blink check with their lives. So yeah, happy to support something like that,” Dorsey said. Starks explained the funds raised on Veterans Day will go back to their scholarship funds over at the YMCA of Southwest Florida for kids and seniors. WINK News spoke with Patrick Messerich, a veteran, asking what supporting and honoring veterans meant to him. “Always a good feeling. You know, everybody’s interested in things and I think it’s good that people are willing to acknowledge it. Yeah. getting less and less popular,” Messerich said.
