Zoo Run Run 5K
Leg it like a leopard or trundle like a tortoise, but come join in the wildest 5K in Baton Rouge
Baton Rouge Zoo 3601 Thomas Road, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70807
Whether you're disposed to leg it like a leopard or trundle like a tortoise, you're equally welcome to vie for prizes and the coveted ostrich egg trophy at the Baton Rouge Zoo's annual Zoo Run Run 5K. Its sidekick, the Half-Mile Kids Fun Run, will also take place for children 12 and under ($12 for pre-registration; $17 for day-of). Prizes will be awarded to the first male and female runners, and in age-group categories. Race-day registration begins at 6:30 am; race starts at 8:15 am, with a kids half-mile fun run before at 7:45 am. Fees for the race are $25, or $30 on the day of the race. A portion of each registration supports the zoo's conservation programs for threatened and endangered animals. 3601 Thomas Road. (225) 775-3877 or brzoo.org.
