april 15, 2012

Are you as fast as a hare or as slow as a tortoise? Find out Sunday, April 15, 2012 at the 32nd Annual ZooZoom which benefits the Sacramento Zoo.

There are options for everyone from a 5 km run/walk (3.1 miles) to a 10 km run (6.2 miles). The 5 km run/walk & 10 km run will lead participants through beautiful Land Park and finish near the back entrance to the Zoo. 

Race like a Roadrunner at ZooZoom!

Proceeds from the 2012 ZooZoom will go towards animal care and enrichment. Feeding animals and keeping them occupied can be a difficult and expensive task. In order to keep their minds and skills sharp a variety of enrichments need to be made daily. Enrichments emulate foraging for food and the use of skills that would be necessary in the wild. More than 450 animals call the Sacramento Zoo home; help fill their bellies and minds.
