Lace up your shoes for marine science! Join us as we commemorate 50 years of science and discovery at UF Whitney Lab with a 5k Race! Run, walk, or jog with us at the beautiful River to Sea Preserve trails (or anywhere with our virtual option) to celebrate this historic anniversary and support marine conservation. This year’s featured animal - the redfish (Sciaenops ocellatus)!
All 5K proceeds will go to the Whitney Laboratory gift fund, a fund that powers the lab’s programming including community lectures, public education, facilities improvements, public events, and critical student experiences at the lab. It is essential to operating all the programs at the lab.
Free kids fun run will be after the 5K, approximately .4 mile on the Scrub Loop
