Become a sea turtle ambassador and race for a cause.To ensure the health and safety of all participants, the 2021 Turtle Crawl race will be held virtually. Run with us on May 1, 2021, from your favorite stretch of sand or pavement, as we celebrate the start of sea turtle nesting season.
Since 2003, participants from across the world have taken part in the annual Turtle Crawl event, all in the name of supporting the Georgia Sea Turtle Center’s mission of sea turtle rehabilitation, research, and education. In that time, participants have raised more than $100,000 to help sea turtles thrive and survive.
