WCS Run for the Wild

Oct 9

Get ready to make tracks for turtles at the Wildlife Conservation Society’s very first Run for the Wild at the New York Aquarium. This 5K run/walk takes place along Brooklyn’s storied boardwalk to help save endangered turtles and other wildlife. Your registration fee includes free all-day access to the New York Aquarium and a free commemorative t-shirt for this inaugural event. Fundraisers of all levels can also qualify for a host of great new prizes, including a water bottle, a soft plush turtle, a commemorative hat and up-close encounters with the aquarium’s resident sea lions!
