Despite not yet reaching the annual peak season (typically from May to October), Con Dao has already welcomed highly positive signs from the ocean in the first quarter of 2026. Records show that 48 mother turtles have returned to nest on the sands of Hon Bay Canh.

Côn Đảo, August 17, 2025 – As the first rays of sunlight broke over the turquoise sea, more than 500 runners from across the country and beyond set off in the “Save Turtles Run 2025.” Now in its fourth season, the race once again affirmed its spirit of resilience, community, and commitment to spreading love for nature while raising awareness for the conservation of sea turtles – ancient guardians of Côn Đảo’s oceans.

On the morning of August 17, 2025, “Save Turtles Run” Running Event will take place in Côn Đảo, inviting the community to join hands — and footsteps — in a meaningful journey to protect the fragile life of sea turtles.

Every year, hundreds of mother sea turtles return to Con Dao to fulfill a cyclical yet extraordinary mission: to sustain life. The journey of sea turtles is one of the most enduring and challenging life cycles in nature — where only a few survive and find their way back to the very shores where they were born.

Over 200 runners completed the beautiful race course at the Save Turtles Run 2024 in Côn Đảo, leaving a sustainable impact on the community and environment.

The "Save Turtles Run 2024" event will officially return on August 17, 2024, with exciting new updates. This year's event features three runner-friendly distances, catering to all skill levels, and takes place in the enchanting twilight hours. Participants can look forward to an exhilarating experience that promises to captivate running enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
