Go Ape Fun Run at the Toledo Zoo

Bunchs Lunchbox  |  01/11/2019 9:00 am

No rules, just run!

In conjunction with the Cabin Fever Weekend activities of Not Monkeyin’ Around Day, the Toledo Zoo is hosting the Go Ape Fun Run on Saturday, February 23.

There will be two runs, a ½ mile route for pre-k to grade 3 and a mile route for 4^th – 6^th graders. The ½ mile run begins at 9:15 a.m. and is $3/runner. The mile run begins at 9:30 a.m. and costs $5/runner. Check-in for both runs will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Aquarium. Both routes are outdoors and contained within Zoo grounds. A course map is available at toledozoo.org/cabinfever. Runs will NOT be timed as this is simply an opportunity to blow off some pent up winter energy. Teams and individuals welcome. All runners will receive a participation ribbon and hot chocolate and a snack will be provided.
