Guests at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, a Disney property some two hours from Walt Disney World, will be cheering on two loggerhead sea turtles in the Turtles Migration Marathon. On July 28, Peach and Pearl will make a return to the Atlantic Ocean and join twelve other turtles in the annual "Tours de Turtles: A Sea Migration Marathon."

Two Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles, suffering from pneumonia, were moved from the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Mississippi to Walt Disney World. Now heading down the road to recovery, the endangered turtles were relocated to make room for animals directly impacted by the Gulf oil spill. Since June 25th, Disney animal care experts have been caring for them with an extensive rehabilitation program.
