Lace up those sneakers and get ready to run! It’s time again for the Jekyll Island Turtle Crawl Races! This active, fun family event at Jekyll Island’s Great Dunes beachfront park features three races for both novices runners and those new to the tennis shoe. Participants can choose from three races: an Olympic Triathlon, a Sprint Triathlon, or the traditional 5K Race. This heart-healthy race does more than get your blood pumping; it also benefits sea turtle research and rehabilitation, as all proceeds from the event benefit the Georgia Sea Turtle Center located on Jekyll Island.
At the finish line, guests can take part in Nest Fest! This afternoon of eco-based wonder features educational activities and exhibits, all culminating with the release of rehabilitated sea turtle from the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Nest Fest will also be held at Great Dunes Park and is free of charge. First have a run, then discover some natural fun!
