Lace up your trainers and get ready to run or walk in the annual Run for the Wild at the Bronx Zoo on April 28.
Join in on behalf of your favorite animal or species that inspires you.
This year, runners are lacing up for the big cats, including the five species that Wildlife Conservation Society has identified as priority species for conservation — cheetahs, jaguars, lions, tigers, and snow leopards.
There are new prizes and race-day activities, including a beer garden for the adults, rock climbing wall, music and dancing, face painting, and more.
Run for the Wild participants are encouraged to fund-raise and seek individual sponsors for their effort.
Runners can choose to participate in the 5K run or the Family Fun Run (strollers allowed).
