Run for wildlife in Cornwall

Want to make a huge difference to wildlife in Cornwall? You can support Cornwall Wildlife Trust's work by running the Eden Project Marathon or Half Marathon on Sunday 19 October 2025. (Find out more about the event here.)

In fact, if you run the marathon itself, the route goes right over the Helman Tor, which is the top of our largest nature reserve. (Please note: the Half Marathon does not follow the same route.)

By taking part in this event you will:

  • Take part in Cornwall's biggest running event.
  • Run through spectacular countryside.
  • Raise money for wildlife in Cornwall.
  • Meet like-minded people.
  • Receive fundraising support.
  • Make a difference by helping nature to make a comeback in Cornwall!
  • Get a pasty and pint at the end of the race, along with a medal and free entry to the Eden Project for you and your supporters.

We ask marathon runners to aim to raise at least £500 and half marathon runners to raise at least £300.
