Run Wild Races

Run Wild Races is a bi-annual event held at the Metro Richmond Zoo, focusing on animal conservation. Participants can choose from three exciting events: a 1 Mile run, a 5k race, and a Wild Ninja obstacle course. The races not only provide a fun and engaging experience but also raise funds for endangered species, specifically benefiting the pygmy hippo.

After completing the race, participants enjoy free admission to the zoo, where they can see various animals along the course. The event promotes fitness, community involvement, and awareness of wildlife conservation efforts. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
