Islanders are set to take to the lanes of Trinity this weekend as part of an annual fundraising run in aid of Jersey Zoo.
The Durrell Dash is due to take place on Sunday 30 November, and will begin and finish at Jersey Zoo.
Runners have the choice to sign up for the 6km, 12km or family-friendly 2.6km, all of which raise funds for Durrell.
Participants are encouraged to wear festive outfits, such as Santa, snowman or reindeer, and special prizes will be awarded to the highest fundraiser and the best-dressed.
All runners will receive a medal upon completion, refreshments, and free entry to the zoo. A 2 for £24 entry for non-members will also be available for the winter period, until 31 January 2026.
Durrell director of communications and fundraising Alexandra Shears said: “The Dash is one of our favourite fundraising events each year, there is something so heartwarming about seeing hundreds of festive dressed runners taking over the lanes in Trinity.
“This fun run really is an event for everyone; with the challenging 12K and 6K for more experienced runners as well as the 2.6K which is open to anyone over the age of 8.
“A massive thank you goes to our amazing sponsors Rathbones who have supported us with this event for the last eleven years, it wouldn’t be possible without them.
“We hope the public will feel inspired to take part and raise funds for Durrell’s work saving some of the world’s rarest animals.”
Rathbones investment director Joel Graves added: “Rathbones is proud to support the Durrell Dash once again. This event brings together the community through wellbeing and purpose, raising vital funds for the exceptional care of animals at Jersey Zoo and Durrell’s global rewilding initiatives.
“Our sponsorship of the Dash reflects our commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and safeguarding the natural world for generations to come.”
