Zoo Run Registration Software That Helps You Raise More for Your Animals

Zoos use RunSignup for 5Ks, 10Ks, fun runs, kids’ dashes, family walks, and race series held on zoo grounds or nearby courses. Each event can include multiple distances with their own pricing, caps, and age limits. For non-race events like holiday light shows, Halloween events, and daily admissions, zoos can use TicketSignup under the same login.

RunSignup’s registration, websites, email, memberships, and RaceDay tools are free, with no contracts or subscriptions. The only cost is a processing fee, typically covered by participants: 6% + $1 for carts under $250, with lower fees for more expensive registrations. Donations have a flat 4% processing fee, which you can absorb, pass on, or ask donors to cover.

Yes. Zoo memberships and races run under the same RunSignup account. You can give members an automatic race discount and prompt non-members to join during race registration. Membership levels, pricing, renewals, and reports are all managed from the same dashboard.

Add a checkbox donation and custom donation levels at checkout, and give participants and teams their own fundraising pages. Leaderboards, milestone badges, and rewards for hitting fundraising goals keep fundraisers motivated. You can also require a minimum fundraising amount for participants.

Yes. Set participant caps for each distance or across the full event, so registration closes automatically when you hit capacity. You can also restrict distances by age, such as limiting a 10K to participants 12 and older.

For ticketed events like daily admissions, winter light shows, and Halloween festivals, zoos use TicketSignup. It’s built by the same team as RunSignup and works under the same login as your zoo run, so you can manage races and ticketed events from one account.
