About the Turtle Trot 5K
The course runs along a paved path through SunWest Park, circling around what were once salt mines. It is a flat, paved route, so footing is easy the whole way. The race benefits an adaptive and inclusive parks program in Pasco County, and it is held in memory of a local parks administrator whose work shaped that program.
Packet pickup happens race morning before a brief pre-race meeting, so there is no separate day-before trip to plan. The park itself is worth arriving a little early for, especially if you have not been to SunWest before.

The Turtle Trot 5K has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
