About the Race
The Rescue Run: Race for Marine Mammals is our largest annual fundraising event to benefit our Marine Mammal Rescue program. What better way to support SSC’s wildlife conservation and educational outreach work than taking part in our 5K through our beautiful seaside Odiorne Point State Park location!
This year, we are proud to have the Rescue Run: Race for Marine Mammals be part of the Rye 400 Celebration.
Thank you in advance for supporting Marine Mammal Rescue!
