Walk for the Wild presented by Bank of Texas is back for its fifth year—and it’s wilder than ever! Bring your herd to the Houston Zoo and step out for a 5k that supports wildlife-saving efforts across the globe. Every step makes a difference!

Your registration gets you an exclusive Walk for the Wild t-shirt, full-day Zoo admission and access to the Walk for the Wild After Party. Plus, you can score special prizes and experiences by fundraising, completing activities, and recruiting friends to join the adventure.

Every dollar you raise helps care for the animals you love here at home—and their wild counterparts around the world. Let’s walk, celebrate, and help save wildlife together!
