Run for Wildlife NIGHT 5k 2027

Run for Wildlife NIGHT 5k is a night edition 5k walk, jog and run held within the grounds of Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Auckley, Doncaster (DN9 3HQ). The route follows the park's main paths and offers a subtly lit course surface intended to avoid disturbing animals. Participants may see or hear nocturnal wildlife and take in park illuminations during the event.

The event is chip timed and licensed as a standard 5k. Organisers run two waves on the evening: one wave is intended for participants planning to finish in under 35 minutes, and the other wave is open to all; results are based on individual chip time with both waves combined. Finishers receive snacks and medals, and medals and t shirts will be themed around a designated night animal that will be confirmed later.

Organised by Curly's Athletes, a community and charity focused event management team, the event encourages runners to wear neon clothing. Torches are not permitted. Tickets for this edition are currently sold out and a waiting list is available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
