Each year, the WCS Run for the
Wild raises awareness of the threats
facing wildlife while fundraising to
help WCS conservation work at the
Bronx Zoo and around the world. This
year’s inspiration is giraffes, a species
classifi ed as Vulnerable by the International
Union for the Conservation of
Nature (IUCN) due to their plummeting
numbers in their native African
range.
Since its inception in 2009, more
than more than 50,000 people have participated
in the Run for the Wild at the
Bronx Zoo.
The 5k race for individual runners
will begin at 8 a.m.; casual runners
and walkers can take part in the Family
Fun Run/Walk at 8:45 a.m.
More than 5,000 runners and walkers
are expected to participate. All are
welcome to stay after the race to take
