Description

Join Fort4Fitness and the Fort Wayne Zoo for Run Wild on Friday, June 5th AND/OR Saturday, June 6, 2026! The route will have multiple terrains: concrete, wooden bridges, grass and gravel. Be prepared for it all as you travel through Africa, Australia, through Stingray Bay and past the Peacock Cafe. Participants will receive a commemorative race shirt, timing bib, free entry to the Fort Wayne Zoo on Saturday following the 5K and a finisher medal. Participants should enter through the entrance on Sherman Blvd on race day. The new Goshen Road entrance will be closed. The Zoo paths are narrow in some areas, so there will be a participant cap. There will be NO Day of Registration. Please see Packet Pick-Up details here: Participants | Fort4Fitness Spectators will also be allowed into certain areas inside the front gates during the race (main plaza to the Africa tunnel area), but not beyond the barriers set up. 5K participants can use their race bib to gain free reentry into the Zoo on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, following the completion of the 5K on Saturday morning at 9 AM. Due to the all-terrain nature of this course, runners under the age of 10 should be accompanied by an adult also running in the event. Proceeds go to the Fort Wayne Zoo. For the safety of our animals, dogs and other pets are not permitted. Service animals must check in at Zoo guest services prior to the race.
