Turtle Derby 5k Trail Race 2027

The Turtle Derby 5K Trail Race circles Hopkins Farm Brewery in Havre de Grace, Maryland, featuring a turtle theme throughout the morning. This is a trail 5K, not a road race. Runners should be at the start line by 9:00 am for a brief introduction before the 9:10 am start. The course is a winding 5K around the brewery, with proceeds benefiting the Susquehannock Wildlife Society’s local wildlife conservation efforts. The race also highlights the decline in turtle populations for runners, hikers, conservationists, and brewery visitors. Turtle costumes are encouraged, and a post-race gathering with awards and beer for purchase begins after 10:00 am.
