Time to run ‘Wild’ at the Detroit Zoo

It’s that time of year again. Time to get out the running shoes and go ‘Wild’ at the zoo.

The event is comprised of three events; 5K and 10K runs, as well as a noncompetitive 1.5-mile Fun Walk. Participants in the running events will cruise through the scenic streets of Huntington Woods surrounding the Zoo while walkers will enjoy award-winning animal habitats as they stroll through Zoo grounds.

Start Times: 5K at 8 a.m. | 10 K at 8:45 a.m. | Walk at 9:00 a.m.
Online Registration through Sept. 12 at detroitzoo.org/runwild
Zoo Registration available Sept. 14, 15 & 16
Medals awarded to the top two male and female finishers in each age category
Commemorative T-shirt and free admission to Zoo on race day included
