You can run, walk or crawl....

...and help us raise funds for endangered and threatened sea turtles during this year's 39th annual Run for the Turtles! Whether virtual or in-person you're turtle-y awesome!

Looking Back...

The 38th Annual Run for the Turtles was one of the most successful in the history of the event. Approximately $45,000 was raised for Mote’s Sea Turtle Conservation & Research Program (STCRP)! This annual event provides major support for STCRP, which conducts daily surveys of 35-mile of beach during turtle nesting season, as well as tags and satellite-tracks turtles.

“Run for the Turtles is the longest-standing fundraiser for Mote; we have been monitoring and protecting endangered sea turtles along local beaches for 42 years, and the Run raises thousands of dollars each year for this important service,”

Dr. Jake Lasala, Mote’s Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program Manager.
