7th Annual 5K/10K Virtual Run

October 30 – November 2, 2026!

Join our sea turtles at the Tour de Turtles finish line by participating in Sea Turtle Conservancy’s 7th Annual 5K/10K Virtual Race! That’s right, you can join us virtually!

This summer, STC released 20 satellite-tagged sea turtles as part of our annual Tour de Turtles migration marathon. Why? Because sea turtles don’t spend all their time at the nesting beach—they travel hundreds of miles, independently, through the world’s oceans! To adequately protect sea turtles in all their habitats, we must learn more about their migratory patterns, their behavior at sea, where their marine habitats are located, how turtles use these different habitats, and the migration routes turtles travel between habitats.

This year’s tracked turtles have already swum more than 37,000 km collectively and are nearing the halfway point of their own virtual migration marathon, with the Tour de Turtles officially ending on November 1. What better way to celebrate their amazing journey than by hosting our own virtual race!

During our virtual race, we’re keeping in touch with participants electronically! Visit @conserveturtles on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to share photos/videos of yourself, your team, and your actions to support sea turtles during your run or walk. Just tag us in your photos and use #TourdeTurtlesRace2026. We will also announce special contests and prizes just for event participants as we get closer to the event dates.
