Zoo Zoom "ZOOmbie" 5K Run/Walk

Event Overview

Here's your chance to RUN WILD through the Zoo! Join the Maryland Zoo and Blue Cheetah Sports Timing for Zoo Zoom, a morning of fun featuring a timed 5K run and an untimed 1-Mile family fun walk with a twist!

This year's Zoo Zoom is zombie-themed! Get into the Halloween spirit and come dressed as a member of the living dead or in your favorite Halloween costume. There will be post-race festivities in Waterfowl Pavilion, including a photo booth, food trucks, and access to the "Spook-easy" bar ($). All race participants receive a commemorative Zoo Zoom tee.

Want to make it a full day of fall fun for the whole family? Tickets also include same-day admission to the Zoo and to our annual ZooBOO! festival, where there will be trick-or-treat stations, games, entertainment, and costume contests held throughout the day!
