Marathon at Cotswold Wildlife Park raises nearly £7,000 for Save the Rhinos.

Posted By sme-admin on January 4, 2021 News, Wellbeing & Mental Health

On 28 December 2020, George from Cotswold Wildlife Park completed a marathon around the Park in aid of Save the Rhino.

Rhinos Running in the snow!

 

When he originally planned it, George didn’t think it would involve running in the snow on a freezing winters day! He ran 52 laps of the half mile circuit around Cotswold Wildlife Park inside a cumbersome Rhino costume, cheered on by our six White Rhinos, Henry and Molly (Head Keeper’s children) and the rest of the keepers.
After seven hours of running in very challenging conditions, the marathon was finally completed. Congratulations to George and Eden for their incredible achievement and thanks to everyone who sponsored him and posted lovely comments on our social media. George said: “When we initially planned it, it was a bit of a joke but then before we knew it, we were dressed in the Rhino suits running through a blizzard! It took longer than expected due to overindulgence at Christmas but the amazing support kept us going which we are so grateful for”.
