Sign-ups for the Great Gorilla Run are flowing in - welcome all you new Great Gorillas.

The end of June total was 426 runners so we’re well on our way to setting a new World Record for the largest ever gathering of people dressed as gorillas.

The current World Record was set by The Gorilla Organization at the Great Gorilla Run 2004 with a total of 637 people dressed as gorillas.

So we have a little under 3 months to find 211 sign-ups and with the hype about the run building to a wonderfully furry crescendo, we’re confident that we’ll smash the record and push on towards a massive 700 total.

Go gorillas!
