The 28th Annual Turtle Trot 5K Run is being planned for early May. The course will be a fast, flat out-and-back along Jupiter Beach. Due to popularity, there will be a limit of 800 participants.
Registrants will get free tech-shirts. Five K race finishers will also receive completion medals. All scoring and timing will be managed by Accuchip.
Awards will be given to the top three male and female finishers, and will go to the first three female and male winners across the 15 age categories.
Kids 11 years old and younger can run in the One Mile Kids’ Fun Run. Each runner will receive a cotton T-shirt sporting the event’s graphic design and a finisher medal. Kids also need to sign up early as no more than 100 registrants can be accommodated.
Since there will be a limit on both races, registration must be completed online. No registration will be available to mail-ins, walk-ins, or on race day.
Many Jupiter families are currently participating in Couch to 5K. This free nine-week program is a training program to help families and individuals slowly increase their endurance levels until they can run/walk the 3.1 miles of the 5K.
Turtle Trot will be May 5. The Kids’ one-mile run will begin at 7:10am, and the adults will take off at 7:30am at Ocean Cay Park, 2188 Marcinski Road.
