Stone Harbor Turtle Trot 5K

The Stone Harbor Turtle Trot 5K is an annual running event held in Stone Harbor, New Jersey, typically on Memorial Day weekend. Now in its 24th year, the event features a 5K race and a 2-mile fun walk suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The race course is a fast route through scenic residential neighborhoods, inspired by the local Diamondback Terrapins, with proceeds supporting the Diamond Terrapin Program at The Wetlands Institute.

The 5K is part of the USATF NJ Grand Prix Running Series, offering competitive runners a chance to earn points. Participants receive Turtle Trot t-shirts, and awards are given to top finishers in various categories. The event encourages community involvement through running, walking, volunteering, and spectating. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
