Brookfield Zoo Chicago is calling runners, joggers, walkers, and animal enthusiasts of all ages to join in its annual Zoo Run, Sunday, September 8. The fun-filled event, sponsored by Revolution Brewing, gives participants a chance to connect with nature while supporting the Zoo’s mission. Proceeds benefit Brookfield Zoo Chicago’s Animal Care and Conservation Fund, which is dedicated to making a difference for species across the globe and at the Zoo. The 5K chip-timed race kicks off at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 1-mile Kids Dash, sponsored by Shriners Children’s Chicago, at 9:30 a.m., for children 4 to 13 years old. Both routes wind through the Zoo, giving racers a unique opportunity to run past several of the Zoo’s animals, including African lions, bison, giraffes, and Bactrian camels. Registration for the 5K is $40 ($45 if purchased after August 31) and $30 for the 1-mile Kids Dash, plus a minimal sign-up fee. Registration fees include free Zoo admission and parking for racers and their family and friends, a sling backpack, a timed bib, and snacks and beverages. On race day, registrants can enter and check in at the North Gate entrance starting at 6:30 a.m. The Zoo Run will take place rain or shine.
