It was initially due to be a one off event, but we had such an amazing time and it was soooo popular, that we've been kindly allowed back to the park for more night time running adventures!
Thank you to everyone that joined us in 2025 for a very very special night edition of the National multi-award winning 5k walk, jog, run safari... AND WHAT A NIGHT!
A very special event taking all of the incredible illuminations around the fantastic Yorkshire Wildlife Park :)
Just like our Autumn 5k event but with a route to take in the fantastic illuminations and maybe spot (or hear!) some of our night time animal friends!
With a start in the grounds of the park and a finish up in the hive!
The event is timed and licensed as per normal 5k and we've got amazing snacks and medals at the finish for you!
And as always we've got a special focus 'NIGHT' animal to inspire all our medals and t-shirts!
We also encourage all runners to 'NEON' up for the event, but please no torches, the course is subtly lit so you can keep safe and enjoy the illuminations without disturbing the animals with torch light. The route sticks to the main paths so it's a great surface.
Please note due to the night time nature and how the course is laid out were afraid this is one of our very few events where we not able to allow buggies (we will continue to review and see what we can tweak, we do our very best to make sure that everyone can take part x)
To help make sure everyone has the run they want to run then we're setting everyone off in predicted time order (in both waves), we capture your predicted run time and then we set you off in order of your time ... so the fastest predicted runners goes off first, and don't worry it's chip timed so you time only starts once you pass the finish line!
It's a great way to kick start your January!
