HENRY VILAS ZOO - RUN WILD 2026

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for a wild cause – our annual Run Wild event is back, and it's all about championing African wildlife rangers at the magnificent Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya! Whether you opt for a breezy 5k or challenge yourself with the 10k, every stride you take helps safeguard some of the most awe-inspiring creatures our planet calls family. With a swag of your very own Run Wild tee and socks, you'll look the part as you hit the pavement at the Zoo on Sunday, September 29.

And for our younger wildlife warriors, the Kids Fun Run includes a fun medal to flaunt! All race details, right from the early bird start for the 10k at 8 am to a joyful sprint for the kids at 9:30 am, are set to make this day memorable. Remember to nab your race packet ahead of the event to secure your shirt size – conservation starts early! Every registration, every step contributes directly to the majestic creatures and the brave rangers dedicated to protecting them.
