Yesterday's 2025 Running Wild for the Zoo 5K was incredible! A huge thank you to everyone that made this possible:

Runners and Walkers: To the 300 runners and walkers your dedication and energy made this event vibrant! Congratulations to all especially the top finishes.

Volunteers: The hard work and smiles of those who set up the course and managed traffic, cheered the participants, and managed the awards and registration were invaluable.

Donors and Sponsors: We couldn't have this event without your generosity and support.

Every step taken yesterday and every dollar will make a real difference for our mission and Washington Park Zoo.

Thank you to the entire community for showing up and making a difference.
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year.
