Thank You for Running to Help Endangered Rhinos
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in this year's Howletts 5K – your energy and enthusiasm made it another great event.
We're already looking ahead to next year, and we can’t wait to do it all again.
Stay tuned – the date for next year’s race will be announced soon!




The Aspinall Foundation has already seen spectacular results with their captive breeding of black rhino at their Port Lympne site which has successfully rewilded 8 black rhinos. Since their release the project has seen 25 rhino births and a total of 60 wild descendants so far. This has assisted in boosting the dwindling population of black rhino which are registered as critically endangered in the wild. But, there is still more work to be done and the rewilding of three more Black Rhino into Tanzania next year is a wonderful opportunity to build on the success already achieved by The Aspinall Foundation to date.
Set where The Aspinall Foundation was founded by the late John Aspinall, 2025's Howletts Easter Rhino 5K will take you through 90 stunning acres of ancient parkland, where you will be cheered on (or maybe just watched) by more than 45 species of rare and endangered animals including giant anteaters, gorillas, tigers and lions.
The event will start before the park opens its gates to the public, giving you an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes. Better still, your entry fee includes full access to the park after the event for runners. Why not bring your whole troop along to explore a world of conservation after you set your best 5K time ever and receive your unique Rhino medal!
