SEA LION 5K

run for rescued marine mammals

Overview

Hit the pavement in support of your favorite pinnipeds!

Join the Aquarium of Niagara in improving our rescued and non-releasable sea lions’ habitat. The Aquarium is adding artificial rocks for our sea lions to display more natural behaviors and improve their wellbeing. This year, run on a beautiful course along the Niagara River or run trails at your own pace with our virtual option!

Overall top male and female runners will receive a certificate for a free animal encounter. Top runners in their age group will receive a special painting made by one of our sea lions.

Participants are invited to a post-race party at the Aquarium, which features healthy snacks, live music, and access to the Aquarium of Niagara’s Main Building and its newest addition, Great Lakes 360.

Participants must register by September 17th to be guaranteed a t-shirt. We cannot guarantee t-shirt availability for same-day registrants.

Note: Sea lions will be off exhibit as we make improvements to their habitat.


    • Registration and check-in begins at 8am.
    • The race starts and ends at Great Lakes 360, a short walk from the Aquarium. Follow directional signage.
    • Participants park for free in the Aquarium’s parking lot.
    • Kids under 6 participate for free.
