For all Kids Sea Camp Anse Chastanet attendees in St. Lucia this Thanksgiving 2024, the second annual RUN FOR THE OCEAN 5K will be held to benefit Ocean Wishes. With the support of Anse Chastanet Resort’s Ocean Wishes, President Tom Peyton invites you to run, jog, or walk a fantastic beachside fundraiser in St. Lucia. This family-friendly fun run guarantees every participant the admiration of the Kids Sea Camp and Ocean Wishes staff at the finish line. Join us in giving back to the ocean and providing so much.
