​

All participants of all abilities are invited to take part in this one-of-a-kind event, and can choose from 3 different events:

• Loop the Lemur 6 Hour

• Loop the Lemur 2 Hour

• Loop the Lemur 1 Hour

• Lemur to Leopard Family Fun Run

 

Each event is only timed, and consists of running the .8 loop inside the Ross Park Zoo as many times as you can. Run, walk, skip, crawl, LEMUR SHUFFLE - we don’t care!

 

Stick around after your event and celebrate at the Tail-Gate Party (like…a lemur tail, get it?), where food, beverage, live music, and an all around good time will be provided!

 

All registrants will receive a custom Loop the Lemur shirt, custom medal, and access to the Tail-Gate Party. Register by May 1 to guarantee your shirt on race day. All registrants after May 2 will be able to pick up their shirt at Confluence Running after the race, unless other arrangements are made.

 

Register today before prices go up May 1!

AID STATION & AMENITIES

 Aid Station

This is a .8 mile loop within the zoo. In order to alleviate any unnecessary congestion on the pathway, crew is not allowed. 

An aid station will be provided to runners in the 6 and 2 hour events.  Aid station items include your typical fare, but it isn’t a gourmet meal.  Xact nutrition has generously provided us 

Because of this, you are also encouraged to bring a drop bag to keep at the lemur with your own essentials or anything else specific you might prefer. You’ll be able to access it every time you pass by it (again, less than a mile loop). You cannot accept nutrition or support items on course from spectators. Doing so may result in a disqualification.

 

​

BATHROOMS

The bathrooms inside and outside of the zoo will be open and available to use, but we highly recommend all runners use the provided portable toilets at the start and halfway points of the loop. We all know what things start looking like during any endurance feat - be kind to spectators and visitors, and try to stay away from the Zoo bathrooms.

 

​

RULES

1. Only completed laps will count towards your total. 

2. One completed lap qualifies you for an official finish.

3. You may complete as many, or as little (no less than 1) laps as you please.

4. Runners and walkers are allowed on the course and will be on the course at the same time. 

5. Please be courteous and be aware of your surroundings (walkers: make sure runners can get by you!)

6. Headphones are strongly discouraged. This is a closed course, but it’s a path that will have other participants coming from behind you throughout the entire duration. Any accident that occurs as a result of headphones being worn will be an automatic disqualification.

7. Pacing is not allowed.

8. Crew is not allowed.

9. Participants are not allowed to receive aid or support outside of the aid station area.

10. Have a wildly good time!
