Turtle Crawl Weekend 2017
Jekyll Island Convention Center 75 North Beachview Drive, Jekyll Island, Georgia 31527
Since 2003, Jekyll Island has hosted the Turtle Crawl, a set of races benefiting the Georgia Sea Turtle Center (GSTC). Jekyll Island's picturesque oceanfront and maritime forest are settings for 2 triathlons, the International Distance and the Sprint Distance Triathlon, both sanctioned by USA Triathlon. A 10K race and a 5K race provide race fun for the whole family.
Between the triathlon and 5K & 10K races, the Beach Village will play host to the Turtle Crawl Festival. Join GSTC for a celebration of the start of the sea turtle nesting season. Play in field day-style games hosted by the Center, dance with Scute, the GSTC mascot, during live music performances on the Village Green, and grab a bite from a regional food truck. Enjoy the evening's festivities while learning about what small changes you can do to make a huge difference in the life of a sea turtle.
From elite, world-class athletes to running novices, the Turtle Crawl races offer something for everyone. With four races to choose from and the Turtle Festival in a unique island setting, Turtle Crawl Weekend on Jekyll Island is the perfect "racecation" for any family!
