OdySea Aquari-RUN: Wade into the Challenge!
The OdySea Aquari-RUN ‘Trout n’ Trot’ is a fish themed 5k and kids race fundraiser to support the OdySea Aquarium Foundation. As the non- profit partner to OdySea Aquarium, the OdySea Aquarium Foundation seeks to educate, engage, enrich and inspire all ages to conserve and protect our planet by supporting local education programs and conservation work!
This year's race is all about Apache trout, the state fish of Arizona, to celebrate their success being delisted as an endangered species! Runners are encouraged to wear your best fish themed running attire to this family friendly event!
We hope to ‘sea’ you there!
