The Royal Palm Challenge is right around the corner. This is the 22nd annual RPC, an event that in the last 7 years has helped us raise over $25,000 for various charities.
All pre and post ride activities will take place at a new venue this year, the Southwest Florida Community Foundation Collaboratory. It's located in downtown Fort Myers at 2031 Jackson Street. Once a historic train station, the Collaboratory is an indoor/outdoor space for public use with beautiful shade trees and all modern facilities.
After the Royal Palm Challenge, you can head just a few block to the river district in Fort Myers and enjoy local restaurants, bars and shopping.
