Annual Turbo Turtle Race FundraiserAdopt a Turtle to compete in our Turbo Turtle Race and cheer them on to a quick finish and chance to win prizes. Turtles enter the water at the top of the Bartlett Aquatic Center tube slide making their way through the lazy river to a single lane channeled finish line. Turtles are pulled out one by one, in order, at the finish line. Each turtle has a number on the bottom that corresponds with the numbered ticket. Winners are announced at the end of the race. The 1st and 2nd place turtles receive a cash prize with additional prizes for many more turtle finishers including gift cards, memberships, passes, and more.
