Thanks to all who laced up their running shoes in support of the Zoo on Sunday, September 18, 2011! The annual Run Wild for the Detroit Zoo was a wonderful success. Over 2,750 runners and walkers registered for the 5K, 10K and Fun Walk! All proceeds benefit the Ruth Roby Glancy Animal Health Complex and veterinary care for the Zoo's animals.

5K and 10K runners raced through the scenic streets of Huntington Woods surrounding the Zoo. Fun Walk participants followed an enjoyable course throughout the Zoo past many of our award-winning habitats and received special giveaways.

Afterwards, everyone joined in the fun at the Post-Race Party sponsored by Kroger. Participants and their families enjoyed live music by the Dave Hamilton Band, food, beverages, children's activities and the Zoo's award-winning habitats. Thanks to our sponsors for their generous contributions and to all who “ran wild” to support the Detroit Zoo!
