Run For Wildlife – Night 5k

Curly's and the Yorkshire Wildlife Park team are very pleased to be returning with the fantastic 5k NIGHT TIME running safari, in support of the Wildlife Foundation!

The route is perfect for all running abilities, whether you're going for a personal best or a fun run! Explore the park as you jog through the incredible Winter Illumination lantern displays. 

Entries opening soon!

4th Jan 2026

  • Time: Starting from 5pm
  • Venue: Yorkshire Wildlife Park
  • Capacity: 750
  • Distance: 5km
  • £23.50-25.50 (includes entry into the illuminations after your run!)
  • £13.50 (includes the same amazing medal, you can also add in a t-shirt)

Everyone is welcome!

Whether you walk, jog, run, or a little bit of everything, it's a great day out!

The race starting point is located within the grounds of the park before you head around the special route before finishing at The Yorkshire Hive.
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.
Pre-booking is essential!
