Description
Run Wild at the Colchester Zoo Stampede 10K In Partnership with Larking Gowen on Sunday 17th May 2026
We’re thrilled to announce the Colchester Zoo Stampede 10K in May 2026, in partnership with Larking Gowen and in support of Colchester Zoological Society and Colchester MIND.
This is your chance to run one of the UK’s most unique races starting right in the heart of Colchester Zoo, between rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and elephants. The course takes you on a 1K loop through the zoo grounds before heading out onto the surrounding closed roads and finishing back inside the zoo.
Colchester Zoo is home to over 260 species and spans 60 acres of parkland and lakes. Listed as one of the top 2 zoos in the UK and ranked 11th worldwide by TripAdvisor, it's the perfect venue for a wild and wonderful 10K.
