About 5K Race

Run wild for wildlife at Run Africa Alive 5K proudly sponsored by Everywhen Insurance  – a truly unforgettable race experience set in the heart of Africa Alive.

This isn’t just your usual 5K. It’s a chance to run for conservation, support animal welfare, and experience the zoo like never before.

Follow a unique route through the park with rare, up-close views of some of Africa’s most iconic species. Along the way, you’ll pass giraffes, lions, antelope, meerkats, lemurs, African wild dogs and more, all set against stunning coastal scenery.

Run Africa Alive is perfect for everyone — from first-time runners and Couch to 5K graduates, to seasoned runners chasing a personal best.

This is a race day with a difference — with every penny raised helping Africa Alive protect wildlife here in Suffolk and around the world.

So bring friends and family along to cheer you on! Spectators can enjoy discounted zoo entry, and once you’ve crossed the finish line, you can all enjoy a brilliant day out together at Africa Alive.
