Get ready to celebrate the 23rd year of this beloved Kansas City tradition while supporting an awesome cause—this year you'll be running for the hornbills! You'll love the exclusive gear you'll take home, including a custom hornbill t-shirt, finisher's medal, and a free zoo pass valid through the end of 2026, plus your entry fee helps support the Friends of the Zoo. Each year this local favorite spotlights a different animal species, making it a fun way to learn while you run!
