Rudolph 5 · Dave Waywell Memorial Run
Rudolph 5 is a festive multi‑terrain event held at Blackpool Zoo on Sunday 20 December 2026. The event includes a five mile run and a four mile walk and is held in memory of Dave Waywell.
- 5 mile run
- 4 mile walk
Every entrant receives Rudolph antlers and a red nose. Fancy dress is optional. Optional commemorative T shirt is available for £12. Medical cover is provided on the day.
Entry fees and minimum ages are published for each option: the five mile run has an affiliated entry fee of £13 and a general fee of £15, with a minimum age of 15 on event day. The four mile walk fee is £12 with a minimum age of 12 on event day. The event does not permit deferrals, event transfers or name changes; this event specific restriction takes precedence over the general trail change policy.
The route is a winter multi‑terrain course and may include uneven, soft, muddy or slippery ground. It may not suit standard or racing wheelchairs or those needing continuous level hard surfaced access. Event HQ is close to the start and finish. Parking is available at Blackpool Zoo but may be shared with zoo visitors. Final race day information, including parking, access, collection and course details, will be emailed about 7–10 days before the event.
