Overview
Take part in a brand new and truly unique Christmas 5K at Howletts Wild Animal Park and support The Aspinall Foundation in their vital conservation work. Following the success of their Easter edition, the organisers bring you another fantastic 5k race offering to help you kick start your seasonal festivities with a wild twist. Registrations also include full entry into the park for runners after the event.

Set where The Aspinall Foundation was founded by the late John Aspinall, 2025's Howletts 5k Christmas Run will take you through 90 stunning acres of ancient parkland, where you will be cheered on (or maybe just watched) by more than 45 species of rare and endangered animals including giant anteaters, gorillas, tigers and lions.

The event will start before the park opens its gates to the public, giving you an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes. Why not bring your whole troop along to explore a world of conservation after you set your best 5K time ever and receive your unique Howletts Christmas medal!
