Run for Wildlife NIGHT 5k 2027
Run for Wildlife NIGHT 5k is a night edition of a national multi-award winning 5k walk, jog, run safari held at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Auckley, Doncaster. The event is a timed and licensed 5k with chip timing; results are based on chip time with both event waves combined. Due to demand the evening is organised into two waves: the first is for participants planning to finish in under 35 minutes and the second is open to everyone.
The ticket includes entry to the park for the day ahead of the event. The route starts and finishes within the park grounds, follows the main paths, and is subtly lit so participants can enjoy the park illuminations and possibly spot or hear nocturnal animals. Organisers discourage the use of torches and encourage participants to wear neon clothing to add visibility without disturbing the animals. Finishers receive snacks and themed medals, and event t shirts and medals will reflect a chosen NIGHT animal that is to be confirmed. Ticketing information notes that tickets sold out for this edition, a waiting list was offered, and ticket sales had specific open and close dates in 2026. The event is organised by Curly's Athletes, a community and charity focused event management team. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
