Be aware that some of our native Indiana turtles
are on the endangered/concerned list.
(such as the eastern box turtle)
Please protect our wildlife and leave those turtles in their homes.
After your turtles have finished their day of racing, the Turtle Days Association suggests that you please set them free to their natural habitat.
