The N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher proved you can host a sustainable 5K race and fun family-oriented event. Over 170 runners turned out for the Aquarium’s Race for the Planet Seahorse Sprint on Sunday, April 19.
Inspired to set an example for the racing community, the Aquarium’s Green Team co-sponsored the Aquarium’s first 5K race along with Pepsi, Land Management Group, TrySports Wilmington and Connie Parker. Lowes Foods donated reusable shopping bags for the race information packets. Organic cotton shirts were given to all race participants. Banana peels and apple cores were collected at the post-race party for compost. Recycling containers for plastic water and sports drink bottles were provided.
