Story

We are a wildlife conservation charity passionate about wild animal welfare. The 2023 RUN WILD team are taking on this endurance challenge to raise funds for a compassionate future where animals and people can co-exist and where threatened and endangered species are protected for generations to come.

RUN WILD Team - hear our ROAR of gratitude!

See how you can help make London Marathon 2023 our biggest and most successful challenge event yet; delivering meaningful impact for wildlife and communities:

How your gift could help:

£5 could buy health-enhancing vitamins for cheetahs rescued from the illegal wildlife trade and now cared for at the Born Free Ensessa Kotteh centre in Ethiopia.

£12 contributes towards the lifetime care of Parly and other moon bears rescued from bile farms in Vietnam.

£24 funds one days care for a rescued lions at our sanctuary in Shamwari, South Africa: Born Free has rescued dozens of individuals from run down zoos, circuses and the illegal pet trade.

£40 supports a Great Ape Guardian for a month in The Dja Biosphere Reserve, Cameroon.

£50 funds vital equipment such as a first aid kit, uniform and rations for our dedicated Pride of Meru lion conservation team in Kenya

£75 funds a one day elephant workshop aimed at transforming community attitudes towards wild animal welfare.

£1,500 funds the construction of a SMART Boma in Amboseli Park, Kenya: an enclosure to keep livestock safe, keep communities happy and stop retaliatory attacks on lions. Just take one traditional boma built from hook-thorn acacia and introduce eco-friendly, cost-effective smart technology!

Well done team Run Wild 2022. Super proud to have shared the streets of London with you today. We made noise for Born Free and all that they stand for. Well done Born Free, its an emotional feeling standing tall with you for the animals. Ritchi Edwards, 3rd time Marathon runner for Born Free.

Together we make the BEST team! Now, lets roar for ALL the 2023 Marathon runners!
