Run (or Walk) Like a Cheetah 5K
Run (or Walk) Like a Cheetah is a fundraising 5K event scheduled for May 2, 2026, at Washington Park, 18th St. and Sheridan St, in Laramie, Wyoming. The event offers separate in-person options to run or to walk the 5K, and a virtual 5K option that can be completed on or between May 2 and May 9, 2026.
In-person registration fees for the running and walking events are listed as $40.00; the virtual race has a registration fee of $10.00. The in-person events and the virtual option share the same distance of 5K and are presented as distinct participation formats.
All proceeds from the event support the Cheetah Conservation Fund. The conservation organization, founded in 1990, uses education and research to understand cheetahs and address threats to their populations. The event is organized by University of Wyoming Communication and Journalism students, a group that will also spend two weeks in May at the fund’s main research center in Namibia to assist with rehabilitation, protection, and study of cheetahs for wider educational outreach.
