Join us in 2025 for a very special night edition of the National multi-award winning 5k walk, jog, run safari!

This will be just like our Autumn 5k event but with a new route to take in the fantastic illuminations and maybe spot (or hear!) some of our night time animal friends! 

With a new start in the grounds of the park and a finish up in the hive! 

The event is timed and licensed as per normal 5k and we've got amazing snacks and medals at the finish for you!

And as always we've got a special focus 'NIGHT' animal - Spotted Hyenas!!! 

So all our medals and t-shirts will be taking on a Hyena and night time theme ... so expect Neon!

We also encourage all runners to 'NEON' up for the event, but please no torches, the course is subtly lit so you can keep safe and enjoy the illuminations without disturbing the animals with torch light.  The route sticks to the main paths so it's a great surface.

Find out more about our Hyena chums here

We normally have 1200 spaces, we initially thought 500, but weve made space for 750 given how many people are waiting to join us! 

To help make sure everyone has the run they want to run then we're setting everyone off in mini-waves like we did back in Covid :) So we capture your predicted run time and then we set you off in order of your time ... so the fastest predicted runners goes off first, and don't worry it's chip timed so you time only starts once you pass the finish line! 

Course layout and information pack coming soon with more details... but it looks amazing! 

It's going to be a great way to kick start your January!  .... WE'RE ALSO LOOKING FOR AN ARMY OF VOLUNTEERS to help with this unique event, with glow sticks and lights to help support the runners! - join our Facebook volunteer page here 

Walk, Jog and Run alongside some amazing animals and illuminations!

Once you've done your run, we've got a fantastic medal for you and cake! 

You're then free to enjoy the evenings illuminations at a steadier pace! (included in your entry ticket :) )

You can also add in spectator illumination passes so your friends and family can join you in the park after the run. ps: due to the unique nature of the event and the dark course spectators will not be able to watch you start / finish the run as this takes place within the park.
