AAZK Race Against Extinction

The AAZK Race Against Extinction is an annual event aimed at supporting global conservation efforts. Scheduled for April 25, 2025, in Honey Creek, Iowa, this year's race features a ~5k trail run and a ~2-mile nature hike. Proceeds will benefit the "Trees for You and Me" program, which focuses on tree planting in areas affected by deforestation.

Participants can enjoy a scenic course through the Loess Hills, with awards, music, and food following the race. Registration fees vary based on the date, and there are options to donate or purchase event merchandise for those unable to attend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
