Bring a Water Bottle

We continue the commitment to our mission of conserving wildlife and wild places by keeping this a ‘cupless’ race. We are encouraging all participants to bring a full bottle of water with them to use during the race. We will provide one refill station along the 3-mile route and at the finish line. Participants will enjoy refreshments in the Wegmans Lodge post-race. To learn more about our conservation efforts, click here.

Water stations available for bottle or cup fill-up at the Starting Line, and mid-way through the race. 

Exclusive Jungle Jog water bottle sticker available for purchase that ties together all three animals! Donations of $3 for one or $5 for two. All funds raised go back to our education and conservation programs!
