About the Tough Turtle
Ithaca’s first adventure race, the Tough Turtle, is coming April 20, 2013. Are you ready?
Island Health & Fitness joins the Ithaca Children’s Garden to present a 5k route along the beautiful Cayuga Waterfront and Black Diamond Trails on the south shore of Cayuga Lake, with a dozen challenging, homegrown obstacles with Ithaca flair. Designed to push racers, regardless of age or physical fitness. Individuals or teams, and all levels welcome: Competitive, general, and family heats. All proceeds support the Ithaca Children’s Garden: Healthy kids, healthy planet.
And, did you notice the Tough Turtle is green? We are working with the Master Composting Program of Tompkins County to make this a zero waste event… Pushing the limits of how fun waste-free can be.

On the website there is no mention of the cost of this event?
Correct. There are multiple pricing structures and they will all be released on January 15, if not before. Thanks for your question – I’ll clarify that on our website.
How will the team registration work?
All will be revealed by Registration Day, January 15. If you’d like to get the scoop early, be sure to register your email address on the Tough Turtle website.
Thanks!
only 300 spots? there’s no way you can open it up to more people?
Well, we’ll see how it goes, and if registration fills up in the first couple weeks, it is conceivable that we would open up additional spaces. It’s our first year, of many years we hope. So we want to start small and grow wisely!
did one person can register all the team, or each person need to do it individually
You will not register as a family, but as an individual. At that point you will be able to register a team. Hope that helps! Glad you’re excited for the Tough Turtle!
Thanks for the heads up. It’s been fixed!
I have made some adjustments to the wording to make the registration more clear. Take a look and see if it helps. Each person counts for one reg spot.
I tracked down the answer:
We have Self- Registration for teams in first 4 heats (team is created by one member during registration and others can sign up and join team on their own at a later date in time) and Group- Registration teams for family groups (last 2 heats) (one person creates and signs up entire team during one transaction). Hope this clarifies!
