Sprint For Seals 2025

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 and future-proof the Sanctuary for generations to come.

 

 

Join us for a hilly yet scenic 3km sprint, stroll or saunter around our beautiful Sanctuary, taking in stunning views and don’t forget to wave at the seals as you pass! The route begins near the admissions building and includes two laps of the Sanctuary before finishing at the start line.

Don't forget you can also join 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 18th May 2025

LOCATION: The Cornish Seal Sanctuary, Gweek or join remotely!

HOW: Get your early bird tickets here!

Register to run remotely via Strava

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.

 

£100 will help to build the foundations of the pools, giving our residents a brand new home

£200 will help to install new sunshades, keeping our residents cool in hot weather

£300 will help to build our new quarantine area, ensuring we can look after the residents who need medical treatment

£500 will help to build our new underwater viewing area, giving you an amazing view of our seals in their new home

£1,000 will help to install the new filtration system, keeping the water fresh and clean for longer
