About the event

WHY RUN... Join us September 9, 2018 for the return of the Brookfield ZooRunRun - with courses entirely within the world renowned Brookfield Zoo! Each year more species lose their race for survival and disappear from the wild. But it is a race we can win, and YOU CAN HELP! The Chicago Zoological Society Animal Care and Conservation Fund is dedicated to making a difference for these species across the globe and with each race entry, we will raise both awareness and funds for this great cause.

Run individually, with your friends or better yet - team up and race against other family members, teammates or colleagues. It will be a race you will always remember and the most serious fun you'll ever have! Each participant will receive a moisture wicking t-shirt, a bib containing your timing chip as well as snacks and beverages! 

And that's not all...Bring your family and friends in FOR FREE to help cheer you on and enjoy the zoo.

 

T-Shirts - All adult runners will receive a moisture wicking t-shirt featuring the 2018 ZooRunRun logo on the front. All adult shirts will be unisex in sizing. Exchanges will NOT be available at packet pickup. Any remaining shirts will be available for exchange at the t-shirt exchange booth after the race in the Discovery Center Parking Lot (sizes not guaranteed).

All kids running the 1-mile race will receive a cotton t-shirt featuring the 2018 ZooRunRun logo.  Parents running with their children will not receive a t-shirt.  Exchanges will NOT be available at packet pickup.
