About
Get ready to unleash your wild side and run for a cause at the exhilarating 2023 Run Wild 5K, set amidst the breathtaking scenery of the NC Zoo! Feel the rush on October 1st, starting bright and early at 7:30 a.m., as you dash through the African and North American exhibits, with maybe a lion's roar or a wolf's howl to cheer you on. The unique race path includes both paved and gravel trails, each step taking you through the picturesque foothills of North Carolina, wrapping up with a refreshing finish at Solar Point. Your race entry not only includes a zoo ticket and a stylish event t-shirt but also contributes towards a greater mission. Spearheaded by the passionate NC AAZK chapter volunteers, every dollar raised supports the continuing education for our incredible zookeepers and vital conservation efforts both locally and globally. Embrace the spirit, catch the thrill, and let's make a difference together! Remember, with just 600 spots, this one-of-a-kind race is an opportunity not to be missed - too bad we're already sold out this time!
