- Any date
Skydive for ZSL!

Run Wild at London Zoo
Take part in Run Wild at London Zoo – our new family fun run – and help us raise money to protect tigers, and other endangered species around the world.
Tigers are under serious threat, with fewer than 4,000 left in the wild due to habitat loss, poaching and human-wildlife conflict. Through science, conservation breeding, and partnerships with local communities, ZSL is helping to protect and restore tiger populations in their natural habitats.
Join us for an unforgettable morning of movement and discovery on Sunday 20 September. The event is designed for all abilities, with 1 mile and 5KM routes. Whether you run, jog or roll your way around, every step you take and every pound you raise supports our critical conservation work.
After crossing the finish line and collecting your medal, enjoy a full day exploring London Zoo. With discounted spectator tickets available, friends and family can join you for a meaningful and memorable day out.
Sign up to Run Wild at London Zoo
ZSL Members, Patrons and Fellows receive discounted entry to Run Wild - check your email from 24 March for details.
