Wild Run
#WildRun #FeelTheCallOfNature – http://wildrun.eu/ – is the first and, until 2024, the only charity run in Poland where the route leads past giraffes, lions, elephants, and tigers – right through the zoo. The main run covers about 10 km. There are also children’s races: up to 8 years old (~100 m) and 9–16 years old (~1,000 m). The races for younger children are free; for the older group (9–16), there’s a symbolic donation. The main run (for participants aged 17+) also requires a charitable entry fee.
Since 2017, over 8,000 runners have joined us, raising more than 412,000 PLN – all donated to the protection of wild species in their natural habitats.
