Challenge Events

Are you lucky enough to hold a ballot place in the London Marathon 2024? Or have you ever fancied taking on the 26.2-mile challenge, but you'd rather spread your day out? Have you ever considered fundraising for your local Wildlife Trust? Fantastic news - you may join either of these events on Sunday 21 April 2024 and receive excellent support from our Fundraising team. 

Take in the sights and delights of the Ocean City's historic Hoe and Barbican with these iconic races. If you're going "all out" for the Plymouth Half Marathon, you'll also have the opportunity to take in the beautiful Saltram Estate, too! This day is perfect for seasoned runners and for people just starting out on their fitness journey; these laid-back but hugely popular events are the perfect way to raise the flag for wildlife in Cornwall.

A popular endurance event with a difference, taking in the beautiful sights of the Eden Project and our very own Helman Tor Nature Reserve, the Eden Project Marathon and Half Marathon options are back for another year at Cornwall's largest organised running event. There’s also the promise of a Cornish pasty and a beer at the other end – where else but Cornwall!? 

Of course, if you’ve always fancied your own challenge event - whether it's a Santa ran, sponsored swim, or a cycle from Land's End to John O'groats -  and would like some tailored support, you’re more than welcome to reach out about that, too. Please get in touch if you wish to host an event to raise funds for Cornwall Wildlife Trust!
