A super special ONE OFF wild athletics adventure!
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!

This year's animal theme
The incredible Spotted Hyenas...are our first ever Night Time 5k featured animals!
The spotted hyaena hunts and scavenges by night and is closely connected in African folklore with the supernatural world!
So maybe you'll get a little shout out from the Spotted Hyenas as you journey past them!
Spotted Hyena are extremely intelligent and social animals, often living in large groups known as a clans.
Their call sounds a lot like laughter – they do this when they are excited but nervous, when submitting to another hyena or when alerting others about food. Their ‘laugh’ is one of about 12 different vocalisations and their call can be heard from over 5 km away.
