From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find 10k events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
There’s no race like it in the world!
Join us on Saturday, February 21, 2026, for the 11th Annual Chimpathon 5K & 10K Run/Walk at Save the Chimps—an extraordinary, 150-acre sanctuary that is home to nearly 220 chimpanzees rescued from research laboratories, the entertainment industry, and the pet trade.
This is one of only three times each year our gates open to the public—and the only day you can experience the full 5K/10K loop around the sanctuary. Unlike our guided walking tours, Chimpathon offers sweeping views of all 12 lush island habitats as you run or walk the flat, chip-timed course, passing chimpanzee families foraging, playing, and enjoying life together.
NEW for 2026 — First 100 Chimp Champs: The first 100 participants to commit to raising $500 will become VIP Chimp Champs, leading the way toward our goal of $50,000 — enough to fund one full year of care for two of our beloved residents. With every mile, you help give the chimps a life of peace, comfort, and companionship

Today, they live in large family groups on beautiful island habitats, with the freedom, companionship, and expert care they deserve to truly thrive.
