Cayman Turtle Conservation and Education Centre Announces 6th Annual Turtle Crawl 5K Walk/Run — April 26, 2026

The Cayman Turtle Conservation and Education Centre (CTCEC) is excited to announce the return of its highly anticipated Turtle Crawl 5K Walk/Run, taking place on Sunday, 26th April 2026. This annual community event brings together families, fitness enthusiasts, and conservation supporters for a morning that celebrates wellness and Cayman’s natural heritage.

Walkers will kick off the event at 6:00 a.m., followed by runners at 6:30 a.m., with all participants beginning at Cayman Turtle Centre and making their way along beautiful Northwest Point Road toward West Bay Public Beach before returning to the Centre.

We’re proud to welcome the Ministry of Health, Environment & Sustainability as the Presenting Sponsor of this year’s Turtle Crawl 5K Walk/Run. Their support reflects a growing commitment within our community to conservation, wellness, and environmental stewardship. We warmly invite members of the business community to partner with us as sponsors and help make this year’s event our largest and most impactful yet by reaching out to us via marketing@turtle.ky

We encourage the Cayman community (and visitors to our island) to register and stay connected through our social media channels for the latest updates.

Participants will enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere, race-day camaraderie, and the opportunity to directly support CTCEC’s conservation efforts. Funds raised contribute to CTCEC’s mission-driven programs, including release of Green sea turtles, environmental education, scientific collaboration, and veterinary care for animals within the Centre’s facility.

CTCEC’s commitment to conservation continues to make a measurable impact on local wildlife populations. Through decades of sustained work, the Centre remains a cornerstone of education and awareness for residents and visitors alike.

Tiffany Dixon-Ebanks, CTCEC’s Chief Marketing & Merchandising Officer, extended heartfelt appreciation to the staff who bring this event to life each year:

“I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to our Turtle Crawl Committee Members. These individuals on our staff volunteer beyond their regular duties to plan, coordinate, and prepare for this event.”

With an already enthusiastic community response and growing support from local partners, this year’s Turtle Crawl promises to be one of the most meaningful yet.

CTCEC extends sincere appreciation to all confirmed sponsors whose generosity helps make this event possible: our Presenting Sponsor, the Ministry of Health, Environment & Sustainability, along with Double M Distribution, Coca Cola, High Impact, Bluewater Medical, Yani’s Photography, Flow, Health City, Gatorade, Corporate Electric, and Oasis Medical Group.

CTCEC encourages individuals, families, running clubs, and corporate teams to register early at www.turtlecrawl.ky and join in supporting Cayman’s wildlife and environmental future.
