Our annual family fun run is back at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary!
Get involved and run for (more than) fun as we seek to raise funds for our 'Fund Our Future' campaign to build new pools for our resident seals.
Join us for a hilly 3km run around our beautiful sanctuary and don’t forget to wave at the seals as you run past! The scenic route begins near the admissions building and runners will complete two laps of the Sanctuary before finishing at the start line. We also have an exciting new option for 2024, allowing you to join in remotely through Strava if you aren’t local to us.
We’ll be giving away some incredible prizes, including opportunities to get involved with unique experiences here at the Sanctuary. For every £50 you raise in sponsorship you will be given one entry into our raffle, so the more you raise the more chance you have of winning!
So get pounding those pavements and help us bring the pounds in!
WHEN: Sunday 19th May 2024
LOCATION: The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, Gweek or join remotely!

WAYS YOUR FUNDRAISING WILL SUPPORT THE SEALS:
'Fund Our Future' is an exciting £1.3 million-pound project to replace four of the existing resident pools here at the Sanctuary, which have stood here since 1975! This large new eco-friendly habitat has been designed to encompass four new large pools, a state-of-the-art filtration system, new undercover viewing and education spaces and will double recommended licensing standards for the care of marine mammals. Your Sprint for Seals entry fee helps the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to make this dream a reality.
