    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Runners took to the streets near the BioPark Sunday morning for the 37th annual “Run for the Zoo.”

    Athletes could choose from a half marathon to a one-mile run and all the distances in between. For the participants who didn’t want to run, they were encouraged to do a 5K or one-mile walk.

    Many runners said they’ve been training for the event for months. Those who took part in the annual event received a t-shirt and free zoo admission after the run.
