Event Details

The Wild Child Fun Run takes place at Tautphaus Park and the Idaho Falls Zoo. The event offers two running distances: a 1.5 mile run and a 5 km run. The course goes through the park and finishes with a unique quarter-mile section inside the zoo itself.

Course Experience

The route includes cheer stations, photo opportunities, music, and snacks along the way. The event is not focused on speed; participants receive a finish time, but the emphasis is on health, fitness, and family fun. It is described as inclusive and welcomes all ages and abilities.

Additional Information

There are two non-competitive participation options: a Kids Chaperone entry and a Family Admission for two chaperones and up to four runners. All proceeds from the event benefit the Idaho Falls Zoological Society. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
