Please join us for the 26th Annual Run for the Turtles!

It seems like just yesterday we had our first run to raise money to support our efforts to monitor and protect nesting sea turtles and their hatchlings. Today, this run is the Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program's major fundraiser — and it's still helping us help sea turtles.

pre-registered participants receive free T-shirts • free food and drink • chances to win door prizes • entertainment •   
proceeds benefit sea turtle conservation and research
