About the event

In 2023, Cornwall Wildlife Trust's first ever Eden Marathon and Half Marathon team raised >£4,000 for the future of wildlife. Now, we're delighted to announce that this event is back for 2024 - and applications are now open!

We are recruiting for the following spaces: 

• 4 Marathon 
• 2 Half Marathon 

On Sunday 20 October 2024, we will once again be present at the world-famous biomes for another fun- and adventure-packed day. Those participating in the Marathon can also expect to tackle part of Helman Tor, the Trust's largest nature reserve!

By participating in the Eden Marathon and Half Marathon, you will:

• Receive tailored fundraising support from Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Community Fundraising team from start to finish.
• Meet like-minded people at Cornwall's biggest running event.
• Have a tree planted in return for your registration
• Gain free entry to Eden Project for both you and your supporters on the day
• Receive a pasty and a beer on the finishing line – where else but Cornwall!?
• Make a difference to the future of Cornwall’s wildlife

And so many other benefits!

Please note that, for a Marathon place, we ask for £500 in sponsorship in return. For the Half Marathon, we ask for £300. We will provide you with all of the mentorship and support required to help you achieve these goals; if you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out at any point (Sam Lucock: fundraising@cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk) 

Thank you so much; we look forward to working with you soon!
