Raptor Run 3K

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm hosts its annual Raptor Run 3K from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Each year, the run benefits an organization that protects wild animals and their environment. This year, the event proceeds benefit the Mantanzas Riverkeeper.

This fun run is perfect for all ages, and costumes are encouraged.

You must register before February 19, 2026, to be guaranteed a shirt in your size.

Registrations are capped at 500 entries. The overall male and female runners will receive awards, as will the top three runners in 14 different age groups.
