Ready to race for wildlife?
Join our flock! Whether you want the challenge of a 5k run, a bike ride or even a full marathon, there’s sure to be an event near you. Whilst you’re getting fit, you’re also helping our work to save nature.
Ready to race for wildlife? Take a look at the list below, sign up to support the RSPB, and get training! We have allocated RSPB places at these events. As you’ll be raising money to help our work to save nature, we’ll give you your own RSPB shirt to race in, too.
