2027 WCS Run For The Wild

Race Information

You probably can’t outrun a snow leopard, but you may be able to help protect them by participating in the annual WCS Run For The Wild 5K run and 3K family fun run/walk at the Bronx Zoo. Each year, more than 5,000 runners, walkers, and wildlife supporters participate and help raise awareness of the threats facing wildlife while fundraising to support the Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS) conservation work at the Bronx Zoo and around the world.
