West Kendall Virtual ZooRun5K

Did you know that a zebra herd is called a dazzle?  We want you to dazzle together for the Virtual #ZooRun5k!  Swing from the trees on your regular jogging path.  Run like a cheetah on your treadmill.  However you choose to move, do it this year at a virtual version of our annual ZooRun5K, October 2 through October 11.

Our community is stronger because we  have found innovative ways to come together, while staying apart. We recognize our healthcare and conservation heroes that continue to selflessly care for people and wildlife in an extraordinary time of need. They dazzle daily and we recognize and appreciate their efforts!

West Kendall Baptist Hospital, Zoo Miami and the Zoo Miami Foundation have joined in partnership to focus on the health of our environment and the community. Together, Healthy Zoo, Healthy You, a part of the Healthy West Kendall coalition, will engage residents of South Florida to participate in wellness- focused programs and healthy lifestyle choices. 

PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT:

Healthy West Kendall
