Run for the Zoo is roaring back in 2021 with our second virtual event! You helped us raise over $100,000 last year to further our mission of “making the exceptional possible at the ABQ BioPark.” This year, our goal is to raise $125,000, and you can help us by registering for one of our races, including our brand-new Virtual Marathon!
Join us for the Virtual Run for the Zoo anytime the weekend of May 2-9, 2021. Register for the 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Full Marathon. Walk, run, bike, or skate! Indoor or outdoors, your race is your choice! This year, we have added downloadable bibs and finisher certificates, as well as optional medals!
While we regret not being able to run with you in person again this year, we’re encouraged and excited that your love for Run for the Zoo extends across the globe! Just like the lion, whose roar is a symbol of strength, your support is our strength, and you are part of our Pride.
Together, we will “Roar On” and create a future that is safe and strong.
Registration opens March 29!
Was going to do my 5K on Sunday, but was very windy. Got down to zoo about 6:30 a.m. Monday, May 18. Did a very close approximation of real course. About a minute faster than last year, which 1st in age group then. Hopefully same this year. 70-74.
Run for the Zoo, now virtually too!
I loved going on my own. Atmosphere different but nice. My first time and heat was tough but nice to get out.
Good race! The course I wanted, on the day I wanted to run, and perfect pre & post race accommodations. My pace appears to be off; is the race site going by 6.2 for the 10K or 6 miles?

I'm so glad this was organized. I did the very first Run for the Zoo; and with the exception of some off years, I've done every year since. Great "virtual" event!
So glad I was able to participate in this special run. :-) I ran a familiar 10K route this morning before it got hot or windy. I look forward to participating in the future. Stay safe and healthy.
Perfect way to do this- perfect course, perfect day, with my dog, no other people in sight... would do it this way again!
glad we could do this this way to support the zoo in albuquerque
Had a Nice 5k walk up on Tramway walking path. Wore last years T-shirt and saw others doing it as well. Glad to Donate for the Animals and those Helping them. Keep taking Good care of Them! See You Next Year :)
