A 10k race at Marwell Zoo raised £22,500 for tiger conservation in Bhutan.

More than 1,200 runners participated in the Marwell 10k, held on the grounds of Marwell Zoo. The event was organised by Steve Collins of Running Mania and was designed to support Marwell Wildlife's conservation work in South Asia, specifically tiger conservation efforts in Bhutan. The race raised £22,500 for the cause and proved popular, selling out within minutes.

The Andover Advertiser reports that a family-run car dealer also supported the event, which attracted more than 1,300 runners according to that outlet's account. The discrepancy in runner numbers between the two reports suggests final figures may still have been confirmed at the time of reporting.
