On Saturday, April 19th, Seacoast Science Center will host its 16th annual Rescue Run: Race for Marine Mammals, presented by Meredith Village Savings Bank. This event features a 5k run or walk, along with a children’s fun run, with all proceeds benefiting the SSC Marine Mammal Rescue program. The 5k race will start promptly at 9 am, followed by the children’s fun runs at 10:30 and 10:45 am. The unique 5k trail winds through the various terrains in historic Odiorne Point State Park. Participants will traverse woods, military bunkers, and the beach, concluding along the picturesque oceanfront property in front of Seacoast Science Center. The morning will culminate with a beach clean-up at 11 am and we would love your help in tidying up the shoreline. Our run is the largest annual fundraising event to benefit our Marine Mammal Rescue program. We will cheer you on to the finish line as you support SSC’s wildlife conservation and educational outreach work.
