We've been passionate about sea turtles for 40 years
This Run is the major fundraiser for the Sea Turtle Conservation & Research Program at the nonprofit Mote Marine Laboratory. Sea turtles keep going no matter what is happening in the world. By joining our virtual Run this year, you're helping us keep the sea turtle conservation and research momentum going as we eagerly await our return to Siesta Beach for next year's Run!
