Running the New York Marathon With Jimmy Carroll

Pelorus Co-Founder Jimmy Carroll is running in The New York Marathon for Wildlife and Wild Places

We are thrilled to announce that Jimmy Carroll, Co-Founder of our major corporate benefactor, Pelorus, is raising funds to support our work by running in the 2024 New York Marathon.

With little time to prepare, please help Jimmy support wildlife and wild places through his sponsorship page.

“Mental health is a big part of why I take on these challenges. They always take me outdoors, into natural environments, which has been a key motivator for me. While the New York Marathon will be my first challenge in an urban landscape, I have been lucky to do some of my training in some amazing places including Iceland, Norway, and across the US.”

-Jimmy Carroll

Jimmy, who has tackled endurance challenges like the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Row and founding the Monaco bike ride, will run the New York Marathon on 3rd November in support of Pelorus Foundation. Despite a recent spinal deterioration diagnosis and only signing up to run the marathon last month, Jimmy is determined to complete the 26.2-mile race.

Sponsorship funds raised will support our work with grassroots project helping to protect endangered wildlife and combat the climate crisis. Every contribution makes a difference.

Thank You

Earth Day 2026, constructive solutions to fragile coexistence

Human–wildlife conflict is no longer a distant conservation issue. It is a daily reality for communities living alongside wildlife, and it is intensifying as climate pressures, land use change, and habitat loss push people and animals into closer contact. Across Africa, the consequences are immediate. Crops are destroyed overnight. Livelihoods are put at risk. In some cases, lives are lost. For wildlife, the outcome is just as stark, with retaliatory killings and habitat loss driving already vulnerable species closer to extinction. At Pelorus Foundation, we work with frontline partners to turn conflict into coexistence, supporting practical, community-led solutions that protect both people and wildlife.
