Run Wild for the Detroit Zoo

Christine Kenny, Neighbor

Lace up your running shoes! The Detroit Zoological Society will host the annual Run Wild for the Detroit Zoo on Sunday, September 18, 2011. Participants can compete in the 5K and 10K races or take part in the Fun Walk and help support the Ruth Roby Glancy Animal Health Complex and veterinary care for the Zoo's animals. All proceeds benefit the Detroit Zoological Society.

5K and 10K runners race through the scenic streets of Huntington Woods surrounding the Zoo. Don't like to run?  Fun Walk participants follow an enjoyable 1.5 mile course throughout the Zoo past many of our award-winning habitats and receive special giveaways.

Afterwards, join us for some fun at the Post-Race Party sponsored by Kroger!  Bring the whole family* for a day of excitement and enjoy running or walking, live entertainment, food, beverages, children's activities and the Zoo's award-winning habitats. 

Registration is required for people ages 2 and up.  *Zoo admission is required for non-race participants.
