Sun21Sep2025Chester Zoo, Upton-by-Chester, Chester, GB CH2 1EU
Run For Nature will take place on Sunday 21 September 2025.
All funds raised will go to supporting the zoo’s charitable conservation efforts to protect highly threatened giraffes.
Participants will take on a route that winds through the zoo. Runners will be able to enjoy glimpses of elephants, lemurs and other incredible species, before heading out into the picturesque Cheshire countryside.
The zoo is inviting runners of all abilities to take part, with a new 5 km run added to the 10 km and one-mile ‘Zoom’ fun run – for children aged 4–15.
With only 2,500 places up for grabs, the event is expected to sell out quickly – with runners supporting a very special cause – the zoo’s giraffe conservation efforts in Africa.
All proceeds will go directly towards protecting Nubian giraffes, which have seen drastic population declines in the wild due to habitat loss, poaching and conflict with humans. The money will support the zoo’s vital conservation work in East Africa, which is safeguarding the species for the future.
Runners will also receive a wooden medal at the finish line and free entry to the zoo for the remainder of the day, giving them the chance to relax and celebrate their achievement among 30,000 amazing animals.
Sarah Jones, Fundraising Lead at Chester Zoo, said:
“We’re thrilled to be bringing back Run For Nature for a third incredible year. We’ve now doubled the distance runners spend inside the zoo, so they’ll pass by even more iconic animals – a really special experience you won’t get anywhere else.
“Not only that, but each person will be supporting our giraffe conservation projects in East Africa, which include monitoring populations in the wild, supporting anti-poaching efforts and working with communities to safeguard vital habitats. This work has already seen the safe translocation of several Nubian giraffes to protected national parks in Uganda to help the species thrive.
“Whether you’re running the full 10km, taking on the 5km challenge, or joining in the Zoom run for kids, there really is something for everyone and each route is relatively flat, so be prepared for a new PB! Registration is now open for all three events, so just sign up online and we’ll post everything you need straight to your door – complete with your bib number and fundraising information. We’re expecting places to go fast, so don’t hang around!”
Top fundraisers will also be in with a chance to win a variety of prizes including annual zoo memberships, animal adoptions and special behind-the-scenes zoo experiences.

A 5 or 10 km countryside adventure, starting and finishing at Macclesfield Rugby Club.

Fri21Aug2026Sun23Aug2026Rode Hall, Scholar Green, Cheshire ST7 3QP
The work we create at Wild Rumpus - be that large outdoor festivals and events, or more intimate creative interventions, invite people out of the real world and into fantastical wonderlands where anything can happen! Just So Festival is our most spectacular, technicolour celebration of this imaginary world, and for 2025 we have taken a pause, a moment to reconnect with its creative vision and to dream up what comes next.
This summer the woods, parkland and lakesides at Rode Hall - home to the festival, will be quieter, waiting patiently for the curious inhabitants of the Wild Rumpus world to emerge once again from between the trees in the joyous burst of magic, performance, circus, music, dancing and community.
We're relaunching Just So with fresh, glittering eyes. Right now as summer is almost upon us, we're busy dreaming, conjuring and distilling the essence of Just So, watching that special, iridescent wonder take shape as Just So Festival 2026.
We can't wait to see you!
Pre sale tickets are available now - sign up for access HERE to join in 2026 as the fantastical world unfolds!
