AN EXCLUSIVE CHANCE TO RUN ALONGSIDE THE WILDLIFE AT PORT LYMPNE HOTEL & RESERVE! The Port Lympne 10k & 5k Run is a truly unique event which will give participants the opportunity to run through 600 acres of parkland filled with some of the world's finest wildlife. Taking place before the reserve officially opens to the public, the event offers you exclusive access to the animals as you weave your way past over 70 species, including eastern black rhinos, barbary lions and western lowland gorillas. Included in each entry fee is free entry into the reserve - and with discounted tickets available for families, why not bring the family down for a day amongst wildlife? By entering the Port Lympne 10k & 5k, you will help to raise funds for The Aspinall Foundation, supporting their vital conservation work and saving wildlife from extinction. Over the past few years alone, the charity has bred and released hundreds of animals back to their natural habitats. In Congo, Gabon, Java and Madagascar, the Foundation is delivering innovative programmes to release animals “Back to the Wild” from both their partner parks in the UK, as well as rescuing wildlife from the illegal pet trade and those orphaned from poaching. They also work closely with local communities to protect habitats and endangered species and deliver education programmes for local children. You can view more information on the Aspinall Foundation here. Merchandise: We have exclusive Port Lympne 10k & 5k t-shirts available to purchase via entry for £15.
