Because every stride saves lives.
Each year, the South Florida Wildlife Center admits over 8,000 animals - from injured birds of prey to orphaned mammals and native reptiles - all in urgent need of care. These animals arrive sick, injured, or alone… and this is where their second chance begins.
Your race registration directly supports:
Emergency rescue and critical medical treatment
Rehabilitation and release back into the wild
Care for our education ambassadors who inspire thousands each year
Quite simply: you run, they recover.
Make it count. Make it meaningful. Make it wild.
Lace up, hit your pace, and be part of something bigger - because we can’t do this without you.
