Running isn't cancelled: Virtual races still have a real impact!

Disclaimer: I received an entry to the Virtual Lincoln Park Run for the Zoo as part of being a BibRave Pro. Learn more about becoming a BibRave Pro (ambassador), and check out BibRave.com to review find and write race reviews!

I shared in a previous blog post that I am looking forward to running the first ever virtual Run for the Zoo - an event that usually takes place in Chicago each year, but this year was forced to become a virtual race as a result of the impact of Covid-19.

This race helps Lincolin park remain open and free to the public, while taking care of many animals - the proceeds that the race brings in help to fund animal care, and now that it is virtual, its reach can extend beyond Chicago! Now that I am following Lincoln park on instagram, the animal photos that they share always bring a smile to my face- so today I want to share some of the cute animals that this run benefits.

If these adorable faces have inspired you to want to help the place that cares for them, make sure to use code BIBRAVE10 when you register for the virtual run for the zoo here.

You can even have your own “Race Day” Fun at home - I ordered up some sidewalk chalk and am looking forward to drawing some animals around my chalk finish line! In times like these, it is the little things that you can still do that I find joy in.

Let me know if you’ll be joining me, and running for the animals!
