About the event

Race Purpose:  PA Rhino Conservation Advocates (PARCA) welcomes you to our 3rd annual Run for Rhinos on June 15th!  Our mission is to prevent extinction of the rhino and to preserve its ecosystem.  The funds raised will continue to go toward educating the public about rhino conservation and to partner organizations who are transporting rhinos out of high poaching areas, re-establishing rhino populations in areas decimated by poaching and providing care for poaching victims that survive.  

Rhinos are being killed at rates that outpace how quickly they can reproduce. We must act NOW to prevent extinction. Save a species!

Location:  The race will take place at the Philadelphia Zoo, registration opens at 7 AM, 5K starts at 8:15 am, 1 mile 8:30 AM

5K Awards:  Overall and Age Groups: Top male and female overall (medal and prize), top 1-3 in each age group (medal)

Entry:  Includes zoo admission for the day.  Parking is an additional $16 (members can use their membership benefit).  Spectators can buy a ticket to the zoo at the reduced rate of $18 that morning--they can cheer you on from inside and enjoy the zoo afterwards!  Children under 2 can participate and enter the zoo for free (strollers are welcome).  Zoo members cannot use their membership for entry to the event.

Amenities:  A 5K running (1 mile walking) course in and around the zoo, t shirt, refreshments, water stations and prizes for the overall winners.  You must register by May 20th to guarantee a T shirt.
