Description
What better way to celebrate Earth Day, do your part to conserve nature, and help educate future generations on the environment, then by joining us for this year's Barrier Island Earth Day 5K ? Join us on Saturday, April 25, 2026 , for the Barrier Island Earth Day 5K Fun Run at St. Christopher Camp & Conference Center.

The 5K Fun Run: The 5K course will guide you through five unique ecosystems in five kilometers: maritime forest, salt marsh, dunes, estuary, and beach. It’s the perfect way to get your steps in while soaking in the beauty of our planet and celebrating Earth Day!

During and immediately following the race, the fun continues with something for all ages:
