A Message From Waterstone Mortgage

At Waterstone Mortgage, we value family, community, and a healthy environment. This is why we are honored and proud to be the presenting sponsor of the 38th Annual Run for the Zoo. We are thrilled to partner in an event that aligns perfectly with our values. We understand the vital role our BioPark Zoo plays in our community, providing education, entertainment, and conservation efforts. We are committed to giving back and making a positive impact on the lives of our neighbors. By supporting this event, we are investing in the future of our community, fostering a love for wildlife, and ensuring a thriving local ecosystem.

Lace up your shoes and get ready to run! The 38th Annual Run for the Zoo is coming up, Sunday, May 4, 2025, and we need you! Join us for a fun-filled day supporting our beloved animals while enjoying the scenic courses through our neighborhoods, Tingley Beach, and our ABQ BioPark Zoo. Every registration fee and donation make a difference in providing vital care for our beloved animals. Register early, not only to save on the registration fee but to secure your spot for either the Half Marathon, 10Kand 5K Timed races, 5K Fitness, or the 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, before your race is sold out. Enjoy a fun-filled day with family and friends. See why this is an amazing community event.

Not a runner? Volunteer your time and make a difference!  Feel good about giving back to your community. Plus, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow volunteers while ensuring a fun and memorable experience for all participants. One of my favorite memories is volunteering with my family, cheering on the runners, and high-fiving the kids as they ran by. It was amazing how the kids would always pick up their pace when they heard you encouraging them.

Bring the whole family! After the race, enjoy post-race refreshments and walk around the Expo in front of the Zoo. There will be face painting and free admission to the BioPark Zoo with your race t-shirt. See you all at the finish line.

Sincerely,
Sue Leydig
