Summary:
Experience Eden as you never have before – take part in one of our races on 10 October 2010. We’re inviting everyone from serious runners through to enthusiasts and families to take part in a series of races through the extraordinary scenery surrounding the Eden Project.

Kicked off last year, the Eden Marathon is the largest race in Cornwall, offering the full and half Marathons through the Clay Country, and the Fun Run right through the biomes on-site.

The route for the full and half Marathons is a challenging one that will give runners a taste of the journey that the landscape itself has been through. Highlights last year included the man-made spoil heaps of the ‘Cornish Alps’, the Luxulyan granite works that have been reclaimed by nature and, of course, the former china clay pit that now welcomes over a million visitors a year – the Eden Project. The full routes will be available on the website in the coming months.

It’s also a lot of fun! In true Cornish style, runners can enjoy beer, pasties and medals on the finishing line. We’re laying on a pasta party the night before, too, where participants can carb up in the beautiful surroundings of the dramatically lit Biomes.
