TurtleTrax "Turtle Trek"

 No Registration Fee.

Grab your walking shoes and join us on Saturday morning, April 1 for a 2.6 mile walk past 12 of the beautiful and imaginative TurtleTrax Sea Turtle Sculptures.  The walk will start and end at Saint Edwards Lower School, located at 2225 Club Drive on the Barrier Island in Vero Beach. Registration for the walkers will begin at 7 a.m. and the walk will begin at 8 a.m.  The first 100 walkers who pre-register will be guaranteed a complimentary TurtleTrax t-shirt and map to all 52 Turtle locations. 

The course is an easy, flat and shaded route, with most of the route designed to be on sidewalks. For safety reasons, no dogs, headsets, roller-blades or baby strollers will be allowed.  Participants under age 18 will need a parental signature and children under12 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Free water and snacks will be distributed at the conclusion of the walk.                                  

TurtleTrax books will be on sale at the Turtle Walk and a number of the TurtleTrax artists will be available after the walk, from 9-10:30 a.m. to personally autograph your book.

The walk is made possible by the following sponsors: Saint Edward’s School, Ba and David Stone, Wheatie and Bob Gibb, and William and Katie Kirk. The Turtle Trek is to benefit the TurtleTrax program presented by John’s Island Real Estate Company for the Mental Health Association in Indian River County, Inc (a United Way agency).  For more information, and to pre-register, contact Mary-Ruth at the Mental Health Association at 772- 569-9788 or visit www.turtletrax.org.
