Get ready to race, because registration is now open for the 7th annual REEF Fish Out of Water Virtual 5K! This event brings ocean enthusiasts all over the world together in the spirit of health, community, and conservation. From June 7–13, you can join in by getting active in celebration of World Ocean Day! You can choose your favorite activity: run, walk, hike, bike, swim, or even paddle! You can complete your 5K at your own pace and participate from anywhere in the world. For all the details and registration, visit www.REEF.org/5K.
Proceeds from the Fish Out of Water 5K support the REEF Oceans for All initiative. Oceans for All supports scholarships, programming, and outreach activities to provide ocean experiences and education for all. Visit this page to learn more.
When you register for the 5K, you'll choose to join one of five Fish Teams: Jewel Moray, Raccoon Butterflyfish, Bat Ray, Nineline Goby, or Pacific Bird Wrasse! Read more about Fish Teams here and then select your favorite team during registration! Friends, families, co-workers, or dive buddies can also team up to participate together by forming a Fish Shoal. You don't have to be on the same Fish Team as your "shoal-mates" either. Learn more about Fish Shoals here.
Registration is $55 per person through April 30. Rates increase starting May 1, so be sure to sign up early to take advantage of the early bird discount. All participants receive a limited edition 5K shirt, printable race bib, and a set of limited edition 2026 Fish Team stickers.
