Durrell have said they were “delighted” to see so many people turn up to run alongside Superman at the second annual Durrell Challenge.
Over 500 entrants from 17 different countries, including 30 VIP runners who pledged to raise least £1000 for Durrell, took part in the 13K race from Victoria Park to the Jersey Zoo.
