Run Wild Races

Run Wild Races is a bi-annual event held at the Metro Richmond Zoo, designed to promote animal conservation while providing a fun and engaging experience for participants. The event features three race options: a 1 Mile run, a 5k, and a Wild Ninja obstacle course, allowing participants of all ages to join in. Each race takes participants through the zoo, offering views of various animals and raising awareness for wildlife conservation.

Proceeds from the event benefit vulnerable species, such as lions, and support organizations like Lion Guardians. Participants also enjoy free zoo admission post-race, making it a family-friendly event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
