Run For Wildlife 2026 Recap

Run for Wildlife 2026
€7,000 Raised for Rhino Conservation!

A massive thank you to the 1,200 wild runners who took over Dublin Zoo on Saturday, 29th August for our sold-out Run for Wildlife!

Thanks to your incredible energy and support, we are thrilled to donate €7,000 to Save the Rhino International to help protect wild rhinos from extinction.

Some highlights from a truly special morning:

• 🏃 1,200 participants ran across the Zoo to raise awareness and funds for rhino conservation.

• 🎨 Visitors rallied behind Painted Dog Conservation, picking up unique snare art handcrafted from anti-poaching wire removed from landscapes in Zimbabwe.

• 🦏 A special shout-out to Jimmy Rutherford from Save the Rhino International, who inspired the crowd before completing the course in the iconic rhino suit!
