A race for everyone.
Join us for the second annual Turtle 5k! Sign up early as we sold out in 2020!
Are you a self-proclaimed "turtle" or aspiring to start running? Then this race is for you!
A "turtle" could be considered a back of the packer, but they’re usually happy to be running and not worried about pace.
What's included:
-Medal
-Bib
-Cheering
-Food
This is a non-judgement, motivational race to start and/or continue your running journey.
NEW for 2021: Since the race will be close to New Year's Day, we'd like to offer a NIGHT run and ring in the new year with twinkly lights!
