Eden Project Fun Run

The Fun Run, held in conjunction with St Austell Running Club and local schools, takes place on the day before the Eden Marathon and its one-mile route goes 'around the world', taking in Eden’s famous Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes.

Design a logo winner

We invited children aged 12 and under are invited to take part in a competition to design a logo for the Eden Project Fun Run.

The winning design will be used on all merchandise associated with the event including a special T-shirt that will be given to everyone under 14 who finishes the race.

This year's winning logo was designed by Isabel Blackie from Tywardreath School, Cornwall.

Tracey Smith, Eden's Commercial Manager, said: 'We loved the eye-catching colours of Isabel’s design, which will really stand out on all of the t-shirts and posters.'
