2025 Turtle Trot 5k

The Palmetto Dunes Property Owners Association (PDPOA) will host the annual Turtle Trot 5K Summer Series every Wednesday from May 28 through August 13.

The family-friendly Turtle Trot is a weekly 5 kilometer run/walk on the beach in beautiful Palmetto Dunes Resort. Each week the event hosts 200-400 runners.

Registration is online only and is $30 before race day and $35 day of the race. Kids under 12 run for $15. Registration includes a t-shirt. All races begin at 8am.

Race proceeds benefit the Palmetto Dunes Cares Fund, a charitable organization whose motto is: giving back while building community. Their mission is to support local youth and enhance the natural environment in the greater Hilton Head Island area through grants and scholarships.

Since its inception in 2018, PD Cares has awarded over $302,472.26 to local non-profits in the greater Hilton Head area that support our local youth. In 2024, we awarded more than $65,000 to various charities in the greater Hilton Head and Bluffton area including two scholarships to local high school seniors.
