Join us for an epic fitness adventure to support sea turtle conservation in the Galápagos Islands! Participate from anywhere in the world and help us reach our goal of raising $5,000 for marine conservation.
📦 Medals ship starting May 12, 2025 | 🎉 Race on the honor system | 💙 All proceeds support marine conservation
Why We Are Racing for Turtles
A group of us will be heading to the Galápagos Islands from April 30 – May 10, 2025, to volunteer with IOI (Intercultural Outreach Initiative), working hands-on with nesting sea turtles and supporting marine conservation efforts. During our time there, we’ll visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, home to the Giant Galápagos Turtles and a hub for vital conservation work. We’ll also have the incredible opportunity to observe these amazing creatures in the wild and truly connect with the land and sea.
🌍 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 $5,000 – Let’s do this together!
