Henry Cavill joined Durrell Challenge in Jersey

On May 15, Henry Cavill was the lead in the charity marathon Durrell Challenge, a race of 13 kilometers across Henry's home Island of Jersey in the English Channel. The race was aimed to raise funds for the Durrell Wildlife Park, which is based on the island and whose Ambassador Henry has been for two years.

Jersey's own Superman Henry Cavill had a collection of aspiring superheroes to contend with when he joined Islanders and runners from around the world in the Durrell Challenge. More than 340 runners – some dressed as Superman and Batman – took part in the 13 km course from St Helier to the Durrell Wildlife Park in Trinity, reports Jersey Evening Post.

As an ambassador for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, Henry hopes to use his fame to raise the charity’s profile worldwide at a time when the childhood of founder Gerald Durrell is receiving nationwide coverage in ITV’s drama, The Durrells.
