Island Montessori Tinted Turtle Trot

Island Montessori School will hold the ninth annual Tinted Turtle Trot 5k and 1 Mile Run on Sunday, April 21st at Mike Chappell Park in Carolina Beach. This year’s event features a Kids’ Dash for younger participants as well as 5K and 1-mile races.

The run has a colorful twist: runners and walkers will experience color explosions before and during the race! Our event is unique to this area!  (There will be a new color format this year and more information will be coming soon!)

Registration for the 5K event is currently $30, with discounts provided to school, athletic, corporate, and community teams. Registration fees increase after March 22nd. Participants can register at www.TintedTurtletrot.com before March 23rd to be guaranteed a shirt. 

An awards ceremony will be held at our After Race Party (location TBD) in Carolina Beach after the 5K. Awards ceremonies will begin no later than 11:30am for all races.

Proceeds of the race will benefit Island Montessori School – the only free and public Montessori education offered in New Hanover County.
