8:00 a. m. Run Wild is a 5K run celebrating conservation. Registration will open at a later date. The run will start at the front of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and into the parking lot in the direction of Powell Road. Participants will loop around the breathtaking pollinator gardens along Powell Road before heading back through the front entrance and into the Zoo. Runners and walkers will enjoy a trek around Conservation Lake and through the Asia Quest and Adventure Cove regions. Some animals will have access to their outdoor habitat spaces in the morning. . . keep your eyes peeled, and you may see them helping to cheer you on along the way! Runners will then come through the ride area in Adventure Cove, where they will head into Zoombezi Bay for a tour of the waterpark before making a splashing finish in the Wild Tides Wave Pool. Runners and walkers will then have the option to stay for a private pool party at the Wave Pool before Zoombezi Bay opens at 10:30 a. m. Grab your friends and family, and be part of the stampede to protect wildlife on July 7!
