BALTIMORE (AP) — Registration is opening for an 8k race that goes through the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore as well as Druid Hill Park.
Registration for the Zoo Zoom will open Monday at noon. The race will be limited to the first 1,750 people. Registration for the 8k costs $45 and runners get a T-Shirt as well as admission to the zoo on race day. New this year is an animal costume contest. Runners who come dressed as their favorite animal could win a prize.
There’s also a one-mile Family Walk and Kids Fun Run. Registration is $35 for runners who want a T-shirt and $20 for those who don’t.
All proceeds support The Maryland Zoo and its conservation projects.
