You ARE Turtle Tough!
Tough Turtle Jr. is back, ready to challenge and delight Tompkins County’s most adventurous young turtles! Designed for kids 12 and under, this exciting obstacle course invites Junior Tough Turtles to run, climb, leap, and crawl their way through a thrilling, nature-inspired course — all in a safe and encouraging environment.
Test your turtle toughness as you race through the Garden, conquering obstacles like a hay bale pyramid, a tunnel through the wildflower meadow, and even a leap off Gaia, the iconic turtle sculpture!
Every dollar supports Ithaca Children’s Garden, so come out, get moving, and show us what you’re made of!
Date: Saturday, September 20, 2025
Cost: $20 per child, or $25 for a race tee and unlimited runs
