Zoo Zoom

View Ticket Options

Sat., Nov. 4, 7:30 - 10:00am

Get ready to unleash your inner animal because Zoo Zoom is back! This timed 5K race will take you through a scenic route surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Zoo. As you run, you’ll encounter fun animal-themed pit stops, where you can refuel with refreshments and pose with a few of our animal ambassadors. If you’re not feeling up for the full 5K challenge, our 1-mile Fun Run is perfect for families, kids, and anyone looking to take a non-competitive jog or walk through the Zoo.

We believe that running should be fun, exciting, and a little bit wild. That’s why we encourage all of our racers to embrace their inner creatures and come dressed as their favorite animals! Whether you choose to sprint like a cheetah, prance like a gazelle, or gallop like a horse, Zoo Zoom will be a roaring good time.

NEW! Pair your Zoom ticket with a post-race brunch on the Mansion House Porch featuring a buffet, mimosa bar, animal ambassadors, and a presentation from our team about some of the fastest animals on earth.
