From the Organizer
Our Annual 5K "FUN RUN" is different than most any other 5K's because at Turtle Lake Resort you don’t need to wear anything, as in clothing, at all. Clothing is completely optional for our event. Wear clothing if you wish or join in with most of our competitors and run in the nude!
Our 5K "FUN RUN" is run entirely on our grounds, rain or shine. We are providing a finish line timing display so you will know your time.
The first 120 participants will receive a participation medal commemorating their participation.
We are providing a race time display at the finish line to help runners estimate their time for the event.
No cameras are allowed so your privacy is assured.
After the race stay for the day and enjoy our pools, indoor and outdoor, and our 12 person hot tub. We also have evening music on race day that you are welcome to stay for; all of this for no additional cost beyond your registration fee for the event. Rental rooms and RV sites are also available for those wishing to spend the night or stay longer.
Fascinated by the idea of competing in nude 5K?
Try it. You’ll enjoy the experience, everyone does.
