2026 Turtle Krawl Sponsor Spotlight: South Patrick Animal Hospital

From the pets who share our homes to the sea turtles who share our beaches, every animal deserves compassionate care and protection.

We’re excited to welcome South Patrick Animal Hospital as a sponsor of the 2026 Turtle Krawl 5K!

Serving Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Palm Bay, Melbourne, and surrounding communities, South Patrick Animal Hospital is dedicated to helping our four-legged family members live their healthiest, happiest lives. Their team provides comprehensive veterinary care while also offering holistic therapies designed to complement conventional treatment—an integrative approach to caring for the whole animal.

And here on the Space Coast, caring for animals goes beyond the ones who curl up beside us at night. It includes protecting the wildlife that makes our coastal community so special.

We’re grateful to South Patrick Animal Hospital for supporting the Sea Turtle Preservation Society and helping us Keep Sea Turtles Alive—one step, one shell, and one caring community at a time!

Thank you, South Patrick Animal Hospital, for caring for our community’s animals—and for supporting the sea turtles, too!

2026 TURTLE KRAWL SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: RON JON SURF SHOP

We’re stoked to welcome back Ron Jon Surf Shop as a returning sponsor of the 2026 Turtle Krawl!

Few names say Florida’s Space Coast quite like Ron Jon. What began as a small surf shop more than 60 years ago has grown into an iconic destination for surfers, beach lovers, and visitors from around the world—and their legendary Cocoa Beach store is right here in sea turtle country!

That makes their continued support of the Turtle Krawl especially meaningful. Our beaches aren’t just places to surf, swim, run, and soak up the Florida sunshine—they’re also critical nesting habitat for the sea turtles we work so hard to protect.

Whether you need a new swimsuit, surf gear, beach essentials, or just a little more coastal style in your life, be sure to stop by Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach and support a business that supports sea turtle conservation in our community.
Thank you, Ron Jon Surf Shop, for riding the wave with us again and helping us Keep Sea Turtles Alive!

See you at the 2026 Turtle Krawl!

2026 Turtle Krawl Sponsor Spotlight: FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers

We’re thrilled to welcome FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers of Melbourne Beach and Indialantic back as a sponsor of the 2026 Turtle Krawl 5K!

Sea turtles are pretty impressive navigators. They cross thousands of miles of open ocean and still manage to stay on course. For the rest of us, keeping our balance—and getting back on track after an injury—can sometimes take a little help!

That’s where FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers comes in.

From physical and occupational therapy to specialized balance and vestibular programs, FYZICAL provides individualized care designed to help people move better, feel stronger, improve their balance, and get back to doing the things they love.

With a medically based approach to health and wellness, their teams combine expert care with compassion to help patients improve mobility, prevent injury, regain independence, and live healthier, more active lives.

We are so grateful to have FYZICAL Melbourne Beach and FYZICAL Indialantic returning to support the Sea Turtle Preservation Society and our 40th Anniversary Turtle Krawl!

For more than 20 years, Running Zone has been helping Brevard County run, walk, move and stay active. Locally owned and operated since 2003, they’ve become much more than a place to find a great pair of running shoes — they’re an important part of our local community.

2026 TURTLE KRAWL SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: SLUG-A-BUG!

We’re excited to welcome Slug-A-Bug back to the Turtle Krawl 5K as a returning Loggerhead Sponsor!

Sea turtles may spend most of their lives in the ocean, but that doesn’t mean they travel alone. Their shells can become home to all kinds of tiny hitchhikers—barnacles, crabs, shrimp, algae, bryozoans, oysters, bristle worms, brittle stars, and more!

A few hitchhikers are normal, but a sick or debilitated sea turtle may become heavily covered with them. When one of these turtles strands on our beaches, Sea Turtle Preservation Society volunteers help get it into the hands of permitted wildlife professionals who can provide the specialized care it needs.

Thankfully, when unwanted visitors show up at our homes and yards, we know exactly who to call!

Trusted Pest Control Solutions in Brevard Since 1982, Slug-A-Bug has been serving our community for more than four decades. Their experienced team offers leading pest control solutions throughout Brevard County, including pest control, lawn care, termite treatments, and wildlife control.

As proud members of both the National Pest Management Association and the Florida Pest Management Association, Slug-A-Bug is committed to providing knowledgeable, dependable service to the community we all call home.

We are especially grateful when local businesses choose to support our mission year after year. By returning as a Loggerhead Sponsor of the 2026 Turtle Krawl, Slug-A-Bug is helping the Sea Turtle Preservation Society continue its work to Help Sea Turtles Survive.

Thank you, Slug-A-Bug, for taking care of the unwanted critters on land—and helping us take care of the turtles at sea!
