THE Durrell Challenge has been suspended for the foreseeable future, organisers have announced.
The gruelling 13k road run from St Helier to Jersey Zoo, which raises funds for wildlife conservation, takes place every May and regularly attracts hundreds of runners.
As of 2024, we will no longer be holding The Durrell Challenge.
We are extremely grateful to everyone who has taken part, fundraised, and donated towards our mission of saving species from extinction.
