I Survived the Bridge 5K
Run With Purpose. Protect Our Coast.
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.
And here in Daytona Beach, that mission hits especially close to home.
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.
Conquer the Bridge.
Protect the Coast.
Make Every Step Count.
RUN. GIVE BACK. HONOR THE LEGACY.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, walking with your Bombshell besties, or simply taking on the challenge, every step helps make a difference.
Let's run it back.
Let's lift each other up.
Let's bridge the gap - together.
