All dollars raised at this year's race will directly support Henry Vilas Zoo and our wildlife conservation partner, the Ol Jogi Wildlife Rangers. Ol Jogi is a 58,000 acres wildlife conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. They focus on wildlife conservation by providing a safe habitat for indigenous and critically endangered species. Their wildlife rangers work closely with surrounding communities to assist them so they can derive support and benefits from this conservation work.
