West Bay, Grand Cayman — Cayman Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (CTCEC) is thrilled to host its 5th Annual Turtle Crawl 5K Walk/Run on Sunday, June 8, 2025. Starting and ending at Cayman Turtle Centre in West Bay, this fun, family-friendly event supports the conservation of Green sea turtles and other native wildlife, while bringing the community together for a morning of fitness and purpose.
Whether you are a seasoned runner or casual walker, everyone is welcome to hit the scenic route along Northwest Point Road to West Bay Public Beach and back. Every step makes a difference, with proceeds going directly to CTCEC’s ongoing efforts to protect Cayman’s unique marine and terrestrial species.
• Why it matters: Funds raised have already helped release head-started turtles and hatchlings into the wild, supported endangered White-crowned Pigeons, and advanced education and medical care for local wildlife.
• Why register now: All participants get a beautifully designed Turtle Crawl t-shirt, chances to win prizes/awards, and access to a fun post-race raffle. Most importantly, you will be helping ensure a future for species that are important to our islands.
“Every year since the inception of this walk/run, we’ve seen the community show up and support in so many meaningful ways, and we’re proud to be promoting our 5th annual event,” said Dr. Vandanaa Baboolal, Veterinarian at CTCEC. Speaking on behalf of the Turtle Crawl Planning Committee, she added, “I want to encourage anyone who hasn’t registered yet to visit www.turtlecrawl.ky and sign up today. With every registration, you are actively helping to fund essential medical equipment and other vital resources that directly support our conservation work.”
