Running for Conservation
Zoo Osnabrück is not just a zoo, but an active participant in international conservation projects. Substantial funds flow annually into programs for the protection of endangered species through sponsorships, membership fees, and targeted campaigns. The Zoo Charity Run on June 13, 2026, is one of these campaigns — and part of the festive program for the zoo's 90th birthday.
90 Years of Zoo Osnabrück Anniversary
The zoo was founded in 1936 and celebrates its 90th birthday in 2026. Special events, themed tours, and festive days will take place throughout the year. The charity run is one of the sporting events of this anniversary year.
Concept
The run takes place on the zoo grounds and in the immediate vicinity. The routes are designed so that families, amateur runners, and competitive athletes can participate together. The entry fee is structured as a donation — further donations beyond the entry fee are expressly welcome.
Zoo Conservation Projects
- Asian Elephants in their native habitats
- Chimpanzees and Bonobos in African protected areas
- Endangered bird and reptile species with conservation breeding programs
- Local biodiversity around the zoo
Setting
Around the run, the zoo offers a festive program with animal encounters, guided feedings, and information booths from the supported conservation projects. Regular zoo visits are possible without restriction during the run.

Sport for a Good Cause
