Run for the Sloths!: Virtual Event
Limitations related to the pandemic have caused the 17th annual Kansas City Zoo Run, “Run for the Sloths,” to move to a fully virtual event. Although we aren’t able to offer physical 4-mile and 1-mile events as usual this September, we can offer participants something that might be even better - the chance to sleep in for the sloths, run at a time convenient for you, get the swag, and still support a great cause!
Although now virtual, the goals of the event remain the same: to raise awareness of endangered species and to raise funds that support the Kansas City Zoo’s conservation efforts at home and around the world. A portion of each entry fee will support the Zoo’s Conservation Fund.
Zoo Run participants will receive:
A “Run for the Sloths” GO-EX Tri-blend T-shirt
A sloth-shaped 2020 “Run for the Sloths” medal
A free ticket to the Zoo to be used on a day of your choice
Featured 4-Mile and 1-Mile Strava routes to utilize in areas throughout the Kansas City metro area and in nearby towns
All participants will also have the option to engage in a new, interactive fundraiser to raise funds that will help preserve wildlife. You can raise money for conservation as an individual or a team, with a minimum goal of $50 and tiered goals up to $1,000. Participants earn prizes for each level achieved, based on the dollar amount raised.
