A truly different event, taking place in the grounds of Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve. Plenty to see with all the animals around the route, great views and a choice of 5k or 10k. All of your entry fee (minus booking fees) will go directly to help to fund the Aspinall Foundation's Rhino Appeal.

The Port Lympne 10k & 5k Challenge takes place within the grounds of the Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve and gives you a unique opportunity to see lots of different animals around the reserve. The route winds its way all around the site, and is open exclusively for the start of the run.

There will be lots of activities at the Race HQ, including a kids fun run, stalls and a mini-event village. A good range of refreshments will also be available for you to enjoy.

We actively encourage you to fundraise for the event, and as a thanks from the Aspinal Foundation if you raise over £25 you can also enter the park after the event for FREE!! !!  For an easy way to donate or to get sponsored you can use The Aspinall Foundation Just Giving page here - https://www.justgiving.com/jaf

Funds raised will go towards our overseas projects to protect endangered animals from extinction and help to return more animals #backtothewild, like Zambezi our Black Rhino is the 9th Rhino going from Kent back to Tanzania.

Within the Race HQ you will also have the opportunity to buy some special merchandise to celebrate your visit.

EVERY finisher will get a unique medal.

Port Lympne is easy to get to being just 5 minutes from the M20, near Hythe in Kent. A friendly, fun event with our usual great atmosphere.

We are managing this event on behalf of the Aspinall Foundation.
