Open to the public, the race includes a timed 5K, a 1-Mile Fun Run, and awards for top finishers (and a special Halloween costume competition to celebrate the day!). Stick around after the race to learn about our cutting-edge scientific research with interactive exhibits, hands-on activities for kids, oyster tastings, and more!

Whether you're racing for a personal best, enjoying a fun morning with family or discovering how our science for solutions impacts coastal communities and marine ecosystems, there's something for everyone.
