Island Montessori Tinted Turtle Trot

The Island Montessori Tinted Turtle Trot is an exciting annual running event taking place at Mike Chappell Park in Carolina Beach, NC. Scheduled for March 23, 2025, the event features a 5K run, a 1-mile race, and a Kids' Dash, making it suitable for participants of all ages. A unique aspect of this race is the colorful experience, where runners will encounter biodegradable, non-toxic paint explosions during the event.

Proceeds from the Trot benefit Island Montessori School, the only free public Montessori education in New Hanover County. Participants can enjoy an awards ceremony and food at the After Race Party. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
