Event overview
The event is a night edition of a 5k walk, jog and run safari held on Sunday 3 January 2027. The event uses chip timing and results combine both race waves by chip time. There are two waves: one for participants planning to finish in under 35 minutes, and a second wave open to all participants, including those aiming to finish under 35 minutes.
Course and services
The start and finish are within the grounds of Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The route follows main park paths and is described as having a good surface. The course is subtly lit to allow runners to see the park illuminations and to avoid disturbing wildlife; torches are not permitted. The event is timed and licensed as a 5k. Finish-line services include snacks and medals. Medals and t-shirts will be themed around a designated "NIGHT" animal, to be confirmed. Participants are encouraged to wear neon clothing.
