Wild Child Fun Run 2026

The Wild Child Fun Run guides participants through Tautphaus Park and into the Idaho Falls Zoo, concluding with a quarter-mile path within the zoo. This event is designed for young families, offering 1.5-mile and 5K distances suitable for children, parents, chaperones, walkers, and runners of varying skill levels, not solely competitive racers. The 5K route incorporates the park before entering the zoo section, while the shorter distance is structured to be manageable for younger attendees. Aid stations, music, and refreshments are positioned along the course. All participants receive a finish time, emphasizing the event's focus on enjoyment, health, fitness, and family involvement rather than pure speed. Registration provides options for children, chaperones, and a family package for up to six individuals, with proceeds benefiting the animals at the Idaho Falls Zoo.
