Care to Carry on 5k - FAQs
Is there a refund policy?
The Care To Carry on 5K Run/1 Mile Walk requires an extensive amount of planning and pre-event expenses. As such, we will not provide refunds to participants, sponsors, vendors, or others who have expended funds on the race. We do appreciate your donation to such a worthy cause.
Are children free?
Children 2 and younger are Free. All other ages are subject to regular prices including all day access to the zoo!
Are strollers permitted?
Yes. Strollers are permitted, but are subject to Zoo rules and may be subject to screening upon entering.
Am I able to use my Zoo membership in order to access this event?
No. While this race is held at the Zoo, membership and other discounts do not apply to this specific event.
Where can I Park at the Zoo and how much is it?
Please park in the Zoo Garage on Girard Avenue. Zoo parking is not included in your registration/spectator fee, but is available for $17/vehicle. Handicap spaces, and spaces for vans are available in both Tiger Lot and the Parking Garage. You can purchase parking at the Zoo’s Box Office, turnstile kiosks, and upon exiting the parking lot. Zoo members are allowed to use their membership cards for parking during events. More info here.
Where can I Pickup My Race Day Bib?
Please enter the Zoo through the Main Entrance, where you will see the packet pickup tables for the pre-registered runners and walkers. You will need to show your registration confirmation page (via your phone or printed copy) to pick up your bib and a zoo wristband. The wristband identifies that you have event access to the Zoo during and after the race. Confirmation emails will be re-sent before race day in case you have misplaced it or cannot find it in your email. If you pre-purchased a Spectator Only Zoo Pass, you will pick this up at the same table.
If I didn't register online in advance, can I signup on the day of the event?
Yes! Race day registration on Saturday is available at the main entrance. Here you can register to Run or Walk for $50.00, or purchase a Spectator Only Zoo pass for $25.00.
