The 2012 race was my first race ever so this race holds a special place in my heart. The mid-May weather is generally great for running and the zoo provides a fun atmosphere. The only bad part of the course (in terms of scenery) is a section that goes out into the parking lot. The zoo is also a bit hillier than one might expect. They also a stage a kid’s run and one great thing that is offered is free child care during the race! A local college provides volunteers to entertain kids with activities and take them to participate in the kids run. My 2 girls had a lot of fun with them. Afterwards you can hang out at the zoo so it is a good race to run with friends. The only negative is that I believe the race was gun timed and not chip timed at the start. I ended up starting in the back due to a last minute bathroom stop. My Garmin time was 25:46 vs my official time of 26:07. Not a big deal, but it would have been my first sub 26 minute 5K! 🙂
