11 Annual Fun Run and Walk goes virtual
Here’s how it will work:
- Commit to run or walk 1 k or 5 k between October 1 and October 14, 2020 in your own neighbourhood or on local trails.
- Join a team with your family bubble and come up with a Zoo theme team name.
- Register to run or walk the 1 or 5 k race. The first 200 participants can opt into to receive the 2020 Fun Run or Walk T-shirt, while supplies last. You can opt out and wear any design from the past 10 years! Shirts will be made available for pick up or mail out after the race on October 14, 2020.
- Get outside ahead to train with family and friends.
- Share your goals and reach out for support from your on-line network.
- Use our It's Your Race APP to report your time/distance by end of day on October 14.
- Share your accomplishment with a photo on social media.
- Top individual and team fundraiser will receive a prize from one of our generous sponsors.

The Fun Run is a vital fundraiser for Riverview Park and Zoo. By running or walking this year you are helping with our 2020 goal of raising $10,000 toward the $50,000 indoor cat holding, home to our lynx and servals, expansion project. Those interested in supporting this year’s goal can donate on our website anytime.
Thank you for your support.
