Registrants are encouraged bring a team and build a personal fundraising page asking friends and family members to donate when they sign up for the event. Registrants can upload photos, a personal story and set up team or personal fundraising goals. Each secure team page or personal page will have its own custom URL.

Age Based Discounts - We ask that all participants are registered, including stroller entries, but offer age-based discounts for both the run and the stroll. Age based discounts are available for children 0-2 and 3-13. All stroller entries receive a t-shirt, medal, and zoo entry with their race bib.

Parking is available in the Zoo parking structure or the surface lot to the left of the main entrance to the Zoo. You must enter the Zoo by 10:30 AM for your complimentary entry to be honored.
