Race for the Wild is more than a run, it’s a celebration of wildlife, community and adventure! On Sunday 12 July 2026, runners of all abilities will take on a spectacular 13 km journey across Jersey, racing through the island’s beautiful green lanes while helping protect endangered wildlife.
Starting at Victoria Park in St Helier and finishing at Jersey Zoo, this professionally managed, UK Athletics licensed event supports the vital conservation work of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, making every kilometre count for nature. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, jogging with friends, or turning up in full animal fancy dress, Race for the Wild promises an unforgettable atmosphere from start to finish. Lions, lemurs, zebras and gorillas are all welcome – the wilder, the better!
