In celebration of a more than 25-year legacy of care, global scientific advancements, and longtime conservation for a treasured species, this year’s featured species is the giant panda, in the home of the only zoo in the U.S. currently housing these beloved bears. Giant panda friends and fans are everywhere, and you’re encouraged to join us from wherever you are! Run with us virtually from home or on your own trail. Virtual race registration is available through May 27, 2024.

Do giant pandas run?

Sure, if they want to, but maybe they usually putter … or eat, or sleep, or putter, eat, and sleep and repeat … regardless of which form of locomotion is your speed, this is the 5K that invites you (yes, you!) to support superior animal care, education, and conservation.
