Colchester Zoo Stampede

The Colchester Zoo Stampede 10k, scheduled for May 18, 2025, offers a unique running experience through the renowned Colchester Zoo, home to over 260 species. Participants will run 1k inside the zoo before heading onto closed roads and finishing back within the zoo grounds. The event supports the Mid and North East Essex Mind charity and includes perks such as free zoo entry, a themed medal, official race photos, and post-race goodies.

A strict 90-minute cut-off time is enforced due to road closures. Spectators can watch from designated areas, with limited tickets available for zoo entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
