The health and safety of participants, their families, spectators, vendors, sponsors and staff is our first priority and greatest concern and we want to allow time for everyone to adjust.

If you registered as a participant, you will receive an email from RunSignUp with details about refunds. While our policy has always been a firm “no refunds” - we feel that under the circumstances, it is necessary to reverse that policy.

The zoo is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the Cheetah Chase 5K is not only one of the most unique races in the state, it is also a critical fundraiser that supports our operations, the loss of which will have a significantly negative impact for the zoo.  If you’d like to donate the amount of your registration fee or make a gift of any amount, please go to http://bit.ly/donate_cheetahchase5k and we’ll send you our thanks and a tax receipt for your kindness!

We’ll plan for the return of the Cheetah Chase in 2021. In the meantime, stay tuned for news about when we can open for you to visit us… and our cheetahs, too.

Thank you for your support. Be well.
