Get ready for the 7th Annual REEF Fish Out of Water Virtual 5K! It's almost time to get out and get active in your local community while making your miles count. From June 7-13, we’re encouraging the REEF community and ocean enthusiasts everywhere to get moving in the name of conservation. You can choose to run, walk, hike, bike, paddle, or even swim, completing the 5K (3.1 miles) distance in one day or breaking it into smaller sections over the week.

 

All participants will receive a limited-edition race shirt, bib, and custom fish team vinyl stickers. We encourage friends, family, co-workers, and dive buddies to form a Fish Shoal to share your race spirit. The 2026 Fish Out of Water 5K coincides with World Oceans Day, a day dedicated to protecting and restoring our blue planet.

 

Proceeds from your Fish Out of Water 5K registration supports the REEF Oceans for All Fund. Join in REEF's commitment to increasing inclusive programming in science, diving, and conservation. The Oceans for All Fund provides support for individuals who have had limited opportunities to learn about, experience, and explore the ocean through REEF's programs. By participating in the race, you're making a difference in the lives of individuals and the health of the oceans.

Make a difference with REEF – join us for the Fish Out of Water Virtual 5K! 

*Racers who register between May 23 and June 13 will receive their race packet after Race Week.

Shirt size inventory is limited for the 2026 event. **New** this year - Youth and Adult shirt sizes.
