About this run
This year, our annual 5K will be both virtual and in-person! Join us to run or walk to support our mission. All funds raised will go toward the care and treatment of endangered cold-stunned sea turtles and sick or injured seals. On Saturday, October 17th, please park in the Buzzards Bay Recreation Area parking lot off of Main Street in Buzzards Bay. Race bib and swag pick up will be just a few steps down the road at 120 Main Street, Buzzards Bay, MA. The race will start promptly at 10 am! After the race, we will have winner prizes, so be sure to stick around after! For those joining us in person, the course is a USATF course! Professional chip timing services will be provided by Kick to the Finish. While we won’t be including shirts with each registration in order to be more eco-friendly, we will have Feet for Flippers 5k merchandise available in our online store — in the size, style, and color of your choosing. For those joining us virtually, be sure to have your times completed before October 18th. Registration cost is $30 until the day of the race. On race day, the registration fee will increase to $40 per person. Discount of $5 for children.
