Put on your best running shoes and get ready to run for a great cause with the Fast and the Fierce 5K! Proceeds from the race will go toward providing better veterinary care for sick, injured, and orphaned rhinos. Then, after you've helped the rhinos, you can enjoy the post-race event with animal-themed games and music!

Help out the Zoo while enjoying a wine-filled night out with Zoo Uncorked! Throughout the night, you'll be able to enjoy unlimited -- yes, we said unlimited -- wine tastings, different types of live entertainment, and an art walk with local artists. And if you wish you could see some of the exhibits, fear not because the Zoo is keeping their Reptile Discovery Center, Think Tank, and Great Cats exhibits open later for participants!
