Join us for the 5th annual OdySea Aquari-RUN: An Ink-Credible Dash for Conservation!
The OdySea Aquari-RUN – 'An Ink-Credible Dash for Conservation’, is an octopus themed 5k and kids race fundraiser to support the OdySea Aquarium Foundation. As the non-profit partner at OdySea Aquarium, the OdySea Aquarium Foundation seeks to educate, engage, enrich and inspire all ages to conserve and protect our planet by supporting local education programs and conservation work!
This year’s race is all about celebrating the octopuses and their ‘ink-credible’ adaptability and curiosity! Runners are encouraged to wear their best octopus themed running attire to this family friendly event!
