Take part in a truly unique 5K at Howletts Wild Animal Park and support The Aspinall Foundation in their vital conservation work. This year, The Aspinall Foundation is celebrating it's 40th birthday, with this year's race theme being gorillas.
The Aspinall Foundation's pioneering work with gorillas has seen more than 75 animals rehabilitated and returned to the wild, in excess of 40 wild births and a 97% reduction in the orphan gorilla trade in Congo!
Set where The Aspinall Foundation was founded by the late John Aspinall, 2024's Howletts Wild Animal Park 5k will take you through 90 stunning acres of ancient parkland, where you will be cheered on (or maybe just watched) by more than 45 species of rare and endangered animals including giant anteaters, gorillas, tigers and lions.
The event will start before the park opens its gates to the public, giving you an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes. Better still, your entry fee includes full access to the park after the event for runners. Why not bring your whole troop along to explore a world of conservation after you set your best 5K time ever and receive your unique Gorilla medal!
So, join us to celebrate our big 40th birthday and help us raise funds for the next 40 years. Without your support, we would not be able to continue our work in countries all around the world. You can fundraise by setting up a JustGiving page by following this link www.justgiving.com/TAF. Have your friends and family support you in the fight for conservation!
