Cheyenne Mountain Zoo’s Run to the Shrine features a family-friendly 4-mile run/walk course through the Zoo, up to the Shrine of the Sun and back down into the Zoo.

Because the Zoo will still be open to the public during booth set-up, you will not be able to drive to your booth location for equipment drop-off.

You can also request to drop off your materials at the Zoo in advance of the weekend.

Attendance: Expecting 1,100 participants, along with family, friends and spectators. Estimated total attendance is 1,300 each evening.
Beneficiary: As one of only a handful of accredited, non-profit zoos nationwide that does not receive any tax or government support, Run to the Shrine directly supports the Zoo and the care of our animals.
