Help Spread the Word and Win a FREE Entry to the Race

Stay updated and automatically be entered into our contest by Liking the Turtle Krawl on facebook!

When the Turtle Krawl's facebook page reaches 100 followers (and again for 200, 300, 400, and 500), one lucky person will be randomly chosen to win a FREE entry into the race! If you can't make it to the race, don't worry - we will send you a super cool race shirt instead.

After liking the Turtle Krawl's facebook page, you can "Share" a link to TurtleKrawl.com with your friends to help spread the word. The more people who like the Turtle Krawl on facebook, the more prizes we will be giving away! Share

Free Parking

Turtle Krawl participants and volunteers can park at any of the metered spots in Nance Park or along Waveland Ave for free until 9:30 AM on race day. Parking will be enforced starting at 9:30, so be sure to bring some quarters if you plan to stay for a beach day after the race.

Posters

If you would like to print a Turtle Krawl poster to hang in your place of business, your school, or anywhere else (with permission, of course), please download our 8.5" x 11" poster (PDF format).

You can also stop by the STPS office and request a pre-printed poster.

Volunteers

We could still use a few more volunteers to help out on race day. Activity's we will need help with include:
-General set-up and clean-up
-Race registration
-Aid stations
-Food tables
-Awards table
-Numerous course marshals to direct runners/traffic at each intersection

Volunteers should be at least 16 years old, but volunteering parents are welcome to bring their kids along if they would like to.

If you are interested in volunteering to help out with the Turtle Krawl in any way, please email volunteer@seaturtlespacecoast.org for more information. All volunteers will need to have an STPS Volunteer Application form on file with the STPS. If you haven't already filled one out, please do so now and either drop it off at the STPS office ahead of time or bring it with you the morning of the race.
