The Great Gorilla Run

Date / Time

Length

4.97 miles (8.0 km)

Description

Join Bill Oddie, Marathon-runner Mr Gorilla and hundreds of people dressed as gorillas to run, jog or walk 8km though the City of London in the 15th annual Great Gorilla Run to help save a species on the edge of extinction.

Since the first Great Gorilla Run in 2003, thousands of people have donned gorilla suits and joined the 8k fun run route starting at Minster Court in the City and passing some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the Tower Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral.

Now in its 15th year, this incredible event has raised well over £2 million for gorilla conservation and poverty reduction projects in central Africa.
