The Wild Run 2024

We're keeping this WILD tradition going on September 22nd! Get ready for all things polar bear themed as we fundraise for polar bear conservation and raise awareness of biodiversity loss and climate change! This year we are excited to introduce a NEW 4km sub-event which will take participants through the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo (the same route as Leg 1 of the relay!).

Please join us, as we run in and around the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo bright and early on Sunday September 22, 2024 for the annual 'Race For Conservation'! You can choose to run the 10 mile (16km) course solo, round up your crew and race the course as a relay (2-4 members), or take in the sights with our new 4km solo run! The in-person event starts and finishes on St. Patrick's Island at 'The Rise', which is our very own party site for the Wild Run! All runners taking part in the relay will also transition their relay legs at this location, making it a great location for family and friends to cheer you on! The 4km solo run and first leg of the 10 mile course run through the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, but ALL participants have free access to the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo after the race!
