Colchester Zoo - Common Venue Questions

Terrain

The race will start in the zoo, heading past the animals and then lead out on to the closed roads around Colchester before finishing back in the event village.

Wheelchair / Pram Friendly?

We welcome buggy runners and wheelchair athletes and simply ask that you remain mindful of the runners around you and make yourself known should you need to overtake.

Please bear in mind that this is an undulating and testing route for any wheelchair athlete or buggy runner.

Are Dogs Allowed?

Due to the nature of the venue only assistance dogs will be permitted within the event village area and zoo premises.

Included in which Season Pass?

Annual Pass

Bag drop?

As the car park is adjacent to the event village, start and finish line we strongly recommend leaving any belonging in your car.

For those that need it there will be an informal bag drop marquee within the event village for you to leave any belongings during the race. Please ensure your label is attached to your bag before dropping it off with our marshals.

Anything left within the bag drop is left at your own risk.
