Adopt a Turtle to compete in our Turbo Turtle Race and cheer them on to a quick finish and chance to win prizes. Turtles enter the water at the top of the Bartlett Aquatic Center tube slide making their way through the lazy river to a single lane channeled finish line. Turtles are pulled out one by one, in order, at the finish line. Each turtle has a number on the bottom that corresponds with the numbered ticket. Winners are announced at the end of the race. The 1st and 2nd place turtles receive a cash prize with additional prizes for many more turtle finishers including gift cards, memberships, passes, and more.
Turbo Turtle Race will take place on Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025, at 7pm at Bartlett Aquatic Center, 620 W Stearns Road.
