Posting on Facebook, a spokesperson from the charity said: "It’s the perfect way to wake yourself up after the excesses of the festive period and a great way to help sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife.
"We’ve got a couple of options available:
"Sign up for free and raise sponsorship money. No minimum amount, just do your best!
"Or pay a £5 registration fee to take part.
"Either way, registration is essential so we can keep you updated about the event."
