About this race
Join us beach side for the Sea Turtle & Sweetheart Running Festival of Gulf Shores!
Taking place February 13, 2027, there are FOUR awesome distances to choose from- the Sea Turtle Half Marathon, the Sweetheart 5K, True Love 10K, and the Be Mine 1 Mile. Whichever distance you take on, it is sure to be a fin-tastically good time! Each event is timed, with participants having the opportunity to qualify for awards. Each participant will also receive a shirt and a finisher's medal!
All distances start and end at The Hangout Gulf Shores, our sponsor and the host of the post race party! Each registration comes with tickets for food and beer (21+ only). So grab your sweetheart, your bestie, your reluctant running buddy... you don't want to miss it!
