Wild Child Fun Run
The Wild Child Fun Run takes place on June 6, 2026, at Tautphaus Park and Idaho Falls Zoo in Idaho Falls, Idaho. The event is the second annual edition and is organized for families and children with on-site activities tied to the zoo setting. The route ends with a unique quarter mile section inside the zoo and includes cheer stations, music, and snacks along the way.
Distances offered:
- 1.5 miles
- 3.1 miles
Participants receive a finish time, and the event emphasizes finishing and promoting health, fitness, and family participation. Registration opens February 18, 2026, and closes May 6, 2026. Fees listed for event options include $25 for individual runners, $10 for a kids chaperone (no shirt, no finisher award), and $55 for a family admission that covers two chaperones and up to four runners. Family registrations should indicate which distance each family member will run. Packet pickup is scheduled for June 5 and on the day of the event.
The event description and entry options reflect an inclusive, family centered run through park grounds with a short course inside the zoo and basic on-course support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
