Exciting extras 

All races start and end at the zoo, which you’ll receive free entry to after you’ve crossed the finish line!  

Runners will get an exclusive finisher medal and refreshments at the finish line. We will also plant a tree for you at our rewilding site in Brazil to help save species such as the black lion tamarin. 

Kindly sponsored by Rathbones for the eleventh year in a row and organised with 3D Events, this year’s Durrell Dash will have a festive theme. Special prizes will be awarded for the highest fundraiser and best-dressed runner, so why not wear your favourite Christmas jumper or reindeer antlers!
