We are excited to celebrate the 22nd Annual of the Kansas City Zoo Run, “Run for the Lions.” We feature a different species each year and in 2024, we offer a 4-Mile timed run/walk event as well as a 1-Mile Family Fun Run. We started our first ever Fundraising Campaign in 2020 in addition to the portions of proceeds we raise each year going to the Kansas City Zoo’s Conservation efforts. Last year, we raised nearly $40,000.
