NON-PROFIT PARTNER
The Alligator Farm Foundation is pleased to support Matanzas Riverkeeper in its efforts to conserve our local waterways.

Matanzas Riverkeeper is a grassroots, nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring the Guana, Tolomato, and Matanzas Rivers remain clean and healthy through their commitment to drinkable, fishable, and swimmable water. These waterways are home to American alligators and wading birds, both prominent species represented within our park.

Their mission is to protect the health of the Guana, Tolomato, and Matanzas estuary and watershed through advocacy, education, and community engagement.

Funds raised from this event would directly support water quality data gaps identified within the San Sebastian watershed, specifically nutrient and bacteria source tracking and emerging contaminants.

COURSE
The course starts at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, travels through the neighborhood of Davis Shores, and finishes back at the Alligator Farm. Strollers and costumes are allowed. Children must run or walk the entire course on their own feet to register and receive a medal and race shirt.

There will be water stations at the start, 1 mile and finish.
