Join us on Saturday, November 14th for the 33rd Annual Turtle Strut 5K/8K Run/Walk. This race is held in memory of Chief Guy Osborne, former Pawleys Island Police Chief who passed away in 2015. Participants will start at the Pawleys Island Nature Park and head south on Myrtle Avenue along the Pawleys Island Creek. 5K participants will turn around in the Bird’s Nest area of the island while 8K runners will continue down Springs Avenue and enjoy a stunning ocean view. The 8K will turn around at the far south end beach access and head back to the Nature Park toward the finish line. This early morning race will take place on an extremely flat course, with amazing natural beauty.

Pawleys Island is a barrier island less than 4 miles long and mostly 1 house wide, separated from the mainland by a beautiful salt marsh and accessible by two short causeways. It is located 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach and is known as one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast. Our race dates are chosen based on the tide charts for the season.

About Pawleys Island

Learn more about the host city, Pawleys Island.

Pawleys Island is a town of 130 people (2020) on a barrier island of the same name in the Grand Strand region of South Carolina's northern coast. The island primarily is developed with large houses that are rented on a weekly basis to people visiting the beach. There are also a couple of inns for shorter-term stays. Dining and shopping is all located off-island, across one of two short bridges to the mainland. The island has a "marsh side", with Pawleys Creek, and an oceanside, facing the Atlantic.
