Run for Nature in 2025 and help save species from extinction
Gather your spectator squad
Bring along your cheer squad and let them spur you on throughout the run! All of your supporters will get discounted zoo entry so that you can enjoy a visit to the zoo together after you've crossed the finish line.
Run our route with a difference
The Chester Zoo 10k and Kids Mile both have flat and fast routes through our zoo estate. Starting in the zoo, you’ll pass fascinating sights like our Conservation Breeding Management Area.
Help save endangered species
Every step you take and every pound you raise helps us to do more conservation work to save species, including the black rhino and Asian elephant.
