Let’s run for wildlife! 🏃‍♂️🐾

This year, members of the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance team are hitting the pavement for the Colfax Marathon, including Jack from our finance team, who’s training for the half marathon. Just like enrichment walks help keep Santiago mentally and physically stimulated, movement and fitness are key to keeping both people and animals healthy. 

When you sign up for the Colfax Marathon, you can choose to run for DZCA and help raise vital funds to support animal care and wildlife conservation here in Colorado and around the world. 

Join us and run for a cause.
