Colchester Zoo Stampede 10k May 2027

The Colchester Zoo Stampede 10k is a chip-timed 10-kilometre race held in May at Colchester Zoo in Stanway, Colchester. Runners start within the zoo's central area, situated between animal enclosures, instead of a typical road start. The route winds through the zoo, passing rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and zebras. RunThrough organizes the event, which features distance flags for each kilometre and marshals to guide participants. Chip-timed results are provided. Entry includes race-day zoo admission, a themed medal, race photos, and supports the Colchester Zoological Society.
