Why We Are Racing for Turtles
SHELL YEAH VIRTUAL 5K
Hike it. Bike it. Run, swim, or walk it—this is fitness your way. Complete your 5K anytime between May 23 and August 1 and support marine conservation and volunteer initiatives in the Galápagos Islands.
After volunteering with IOI (Intercultural Outreach Initiative) in the Galápagos, our team witnessed firsthand the challenges sea turtles and marine wildlife face—from pollution and habitat loss to the growing impact of climate change. We worked directly with nesting sea turtles, supported local conservation efforts, and visited the Charles Darwin Research Station, home to the Giant Galápagos Turtles and critical research.
This event was created as a way to give back. Your registration includes a limited-edition sea turtle medal, and proceeds go directly toward supporting marine conservation programs and the organizations making a difference.
Move with purpose. Shell yeah!
🌍 This race is our way of giving back! All proceeds after admin costs will support:
✔ IOI's Volunteer Program – Helping future volunteers continue this work.
✔ The Charles Darwin Research Station – Funding marine conservation projects.
💙 We have a goal of raising $3,000 – Let’s do this together!
