About the Run Wild Races XIV: Wild Camel Run

The race is held at a zoo, which shapes everything about it. Runners can choose a short loop around the grounds, an all-terrain trail course, or an obstacle challenge. The zoo setting means wildlife is part of the backdrop, and the event raises money for wild camel conservation, with the zoo's own Bactrian camels on hand to connect visitors to the cause.

Race-day parking is free in a designated section of the zoo lot, with signage and attendants to direct you. Packet pickup runs the evening before at the zoo itself, with a race-morning option available in the window before your start time. Registration on race day is possible if space remains.

Common Questions About the Run Wild Races XIV: Wild Camel Run

Will I finish last at the Run Wild Races XIV: Wild Camel Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 46:54, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:25:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Run Wild Races XIV: Wild Camel Run a good first 5K?

A field of 403 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Run Wild Races XIV: Wild Camel Run?

The 5K winner ran 23:08 while the median finisher took 46:54. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
