Name: Run WILD 5K!
Start: 2015-10-24T10:30:00-04:00
Location: Santa Barbara, CA, United States

This is the 2nd annual Run Wild 5K during the Santa Barbara Open Streets festival! Run or walk our awesome course on Cabrillo Boulevard as we take over the street, run THROUGH the Santa Barbara Zoo, and enjoy our awesome finish line area with food, music and perfect scenery from Santa Barbara's East Beach.

Course starts and ends on the waterfront on Cabrillo Boulevard, near the East Beach Grill. Race towards Stearns Wharf with a quick turnaround near Calle Cesar Chavez, reverse back towards the Bird Refuge to an additional turn-around, and then charge into our awesome Santa Barbara Zoo for a great loop near the animals, spectators, puppeteers and more! After exiting the zoo, you'll finish along with same beautiful waterfront that you just started.

Run/Walk starts promptly at 10:30 am. Onsite registration & bib pickup will be available at 9:30 am.

Run or walk, and stay after for our free kids run!

This course has some exciting turn-arounds that make for a great competition and spectator show. Course is mostly flat with the exception of a technical, hillier portion inside the zoo.

Spectators can post-up at the starting/finish line area, as runners will pass by the area twice before finishing. You can also head into the zoo to cheer on with puppeteers in dinosaur/animal costumes.

Great course. Something different and fun with a spin through the zoo! Do it. - Mike Desmond, 2014 Mens Champ
