This is a celebration of strength, community, how far we’ve come, and where we’re going next. Whether you’re walking, running, dancing, or dragging your glutes across the finish line – JUST FINISH. Because when you do, you’ll carry the pride of surviving the bridge, supporting a cause, and honoring the legacy of what it means to be a Bombshell.
100% OF PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT SEA TURTLE CONSERVANCY, supporting efforts to protect sea turtles, their nesting beaches, and the coastal ecosystems they depend on.
I Survived the Bridge 5K is about more than conquering the climb. 100% of proceeds will benefit Sea Turtle Conservancy, the world’s oldest sea turtle research and conservation organization, working to protect sea turtles and their habitats through research, education, advocacy, and conservation.
Daytona Beach and the surrounding Volusia County coastline provide critical nesting habitat for threatened and endangered sea turtles, including loggerhead, green, and leatherback turtles. In fact, Volusia County reached a record-breaking 1,517 sea turtle nests in July 2026, with nesting season continuing through October 31.
Sea turtles are also an important part of a healthy coastal ecosystem. They help maintain seagrass beds that support fish and other marine life, while turtle nests provide nutrients that help strengthen dune vegetation. Healthy dunes, in turn, help stabilize sand and protect beaches from erosion.
That makes protecting sea turtles more than a global cause. It’s a Daytona Beach cause.
When you take on the bridge, you’re running alongside the same coastline these incredible animals return to year after year.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking with your Bombshell besties, or simply taking on the challenge, every step helps make a difference.
The I Survived the Bridge 5K is virtual, so you can join the challenge from wherever you are! Got a bridge nearby? Even better - channel your inner Bombshell and tackle that incline!
Hit your favorite running route, take on the treadmill, run along the beach, or find your own scenic spot to get your 5K in.
No matter where you run, bring the Bombshell energy and make every mile count!
Complete your 5K, have some fun, and RUN FOR THE TURTLES!
Every step helps support Sea Turtle Conservancy and its mission to protect sea turtles and their coastal habitats.
SURVIVE THE BRIDGE. WEAR YOUR SHELL. MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
An exclusive ‘I Survived the Bridge’ Finisher Medal, an Official Race Shirt, and your name etched in the Bombshell brag book of history!
Every in-person participant will receive a cute turtle bracelet as a special keepsake to celebrate completing the 5K and supporting the cause.
