Get ready to test your speed — and your patience — in this season’s Run Wild Race! Inspired by the timeless tale of The Tortoise and the Hare, this event raises awareness and funds for an endangered tortoise species in the wild.

Just like in the story, it’s not only about who’s fastest — it’s about staying steady, determined, and doing your part for wildlife conservation. Whether you sprint like the hare or pace yourself like the tortoise, every step helps protect these slow and steady survivors.

Join us at the Metro Richmond Zoo for a day of adventure, wildlife, and family fun — all while supporting the preservation of the endangered tortoises in their natural habitat.

JAMES RIVER SCRAMBLE: During your 6ish mile trail run you'll get to experience firsthand some of RVA's best outdoor gems including the Canal Walk, the James River Park System, Belle Isle, and the Floodwall.

BUST THE BANKS: Prepare to take on Richmond's urban single track system on foot. It'll be gritty, and it's gonna be dirty, but it's not an event you want to miss. Dodge tree limbs, climb banks, coast downhill, and navigate to the finish. Run the banks alongside rapids, rocks, and see some amazing views of the city skyline.

This is the 7th annual Jingle Bell 5K to support the Annual Campaign of the Swift Creek Family YMCA. Participation in the Jingle Bell 5K supports Y programs that positively impact the local community. Net proceeds benefit the YMCA annual campaign, which helps everyone, regardless of age, income or background, have the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.

In 2025, we are running for programs that support and drown proof Chesterfield County. Our goal is for every 2nd grader in our service area to have access to our Learn to Swim program through Chesterfield County Schools. By signing up to run the Jingle Bell 5K, you will be directly impacting this life changing program.

All participants will receive a finishers medal and running gloves.
