Yes, pending availability.

Officially, no. Non-competitive walkers are welcome at the Turtle Krawl, but ideally, you should be able to keep about a 20 minute per mile (3 mph) pace. If you look at the Past Results, you will see that we typically have a dozen or so participants who take between 1 hour and 1:15 to finish the 3.1 mile course each year, and that is no problem at all. That said, A1A will only be closed from 7:30 until 8:30 AM, so be aware that the road may be open to traffic if you are not able to make it to approximately Mile 2.7 within one hour of the start. The Kids Run also starts in the 8:30-8:45 time frame.

Yes, strollers are allowed, but running with them is not. We ask that you be considerate and line up toward the back at the starting line.

No, dogs are not allowed on the course or at Nance Park during the event.

Sorry, but all registrations are non-refundable, as explained the terms and conditions you agreed to when you registered. This is standard for all races, sporting events, concerts, etc. Please remember that this is a fundraiser to benefit the volunteer-operated, not-for-profit Sea Turtle Preservation Society. We are sorry that you will not be able to participate in the race for whatever reason but hope you understand that your donation is still very much appreciated. If you cannot participate in-person on race day, the registration becomes a registration for the virtual race.

Yes, this year we plan on having a live and virtual race.

VIRTUAL RACE PACKETS: If you selected to pickup your race packet at Running Zone, your race packet will be available during early packet pickup starting Thursday 9/12 and Friday 9/13 from 10:00 AM - 6:30 PM.
