Friends and Zoey's Zoo Fun Run

Get ready for a day of fun and fitness at the fifth annual Friends and Zoey's Zoo Fun Run, taking place on Sunday, September 13, 2026, in the beautiful Edmonton Valley Zoo, Alberta! This family-friendly event supports the Valley Zoo Development Society, helping to fund important projects like the Harbour Seal, Golden Lion Tamarin, and Goeldi's Monkey exhibits, as well as the redevelopment of Carnivore Alley. With race distances designed for everyone, participants can choose from 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km routes, making it the perfect opportunity for families and friends to come together for a great cause.

For those who can’t make it to Edmonton, a Virtual option allows you to run from anywhere, with the same exciting distances and a custom-designed finisher gift mailed to you. Join us at the Edmonton Valley Zoo amphitheater for an unforgettable day of community spirit, fitness, and wildlife conservation. Don’t miss out on packet pick-up on September 12 at South Edmonton Common Running Room or on race day at the zoo! Be part of the excitement and help us continue making a positive impact on the lives of these incredible animals!
