Run for the Turtles

Join Mote Marine Laboratory's Run for the Turtles on Siesta Key Beach and support sea turtle conservation through a main fundraising event for the Sea Turtle Conservation & Research Program. Participants of all ages can enjoy their chosen race, with prizes for top finishers and everyone receiving a finisher ribbon. Each entry includes a race t-shirt and access to various amenities. A virtual race is also available for those unable to attend. Consider supporting the event as a sponsor. Please bring a reusable water bottle to help maintain Mote's eco-friendly mission.
