Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Future for Wildlife 5K Run/Walk

The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Future for Wildlife 5K Run/Walk and 1 Mile Walk, presented by CrossCountry Mortgage, is a conservation-themed race held at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in Cleveland, Ohio. Participants can choose a 5K run or a 1-mile walk, with course maps provided for both routes. The event invites runners to support wildlife conservation by running for a selected species—Andean bear, Asian turtle, giraffe, gorilla, lion, or rhino.

Perks include a custom race shirt, a finisher medal, post-race refreshments, and zoo admission. It’s the third race in the four-part Cleveland Metroparks Race Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
