Event Description

Join us on Saturday, November 9th for the 27th Annual Turtle Strut 5K & 8K in memory of Chief Guy Osborne and in support of The Family Justice Center. Runners will start at the Pawleys Island Nature Park and head south on Myrtle Avenue along side the Pawleys Island Creek. 5K participants will turn around in the Bird’s Nest area of the island while 8K runners will continue down Springs Avenue where they’ll enjoy a stunning ocean view. The 8K will turn around at the far south end beach access and head back to the Nature Park where both races finish. This early morning race will take place on an extremely flat course, with amazing natural beauty.

We’re a small town and this isn’t a large event so we hand out the packets in the morning prior to the race. The race signup is in the Pavilion Park at the corner of North Causeway Road and Myrtle Avenue. We’ll start handing out packets around 7am.
