Safari Lights Run Club Info

We can't wait for Safari Lights at the Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden on Thursday, November 12th at 6:00 PM!

Bring your friends and family to walk, jog, run, and stroll through the beautiful Safari Lights display, demo new footwear and running gear from our favorite brands, then come back and enjoy a delicious beverage and fun prize raffle with the Pack!

Safari Lights Run Club is suitable for all ages, paces, and abilities - the course is gently rolling and one of our favorite ways to experience holiday lights together!

A portion of every registration goes directly to support Zoo conservation efforts—please join us in thanking the OKC Zoo for their incredible partnership!

Grab your RUN WILD hat!

RUN WILD. Look good doing it.

Our Red Coyote Zoo Run running hats bring a little animal instinct to your everyday miles with bold zebra, leopard, and giraffe prints. Mesh side panels and an adjustable buckle closure keep the fit comfortable, while the “RUN WILD” front patch, signature coyote logo, and Red Coyote Zoo Run lettering finish the look.

Get yours before they run away! These hats will be available for pick up at the event

Wristband Pickup

To avoid long check in lines and delays at the Zoo, we will be having Wristband pick up at the Oklahoma City Store Location on the following dates and times:

Wednesday, November 11th from 10AM-7PM
Thursday, November 12th from 10AM-2PM

There will also be check in at the event at 5:00PM but we strongly suggest early pickup to avoid delays.

Please register each person in your family: adult registration is $12 per person and kids 3-11 is $8 per person (2 and under get in free!). Your registration directly supports the Zoo's conservation efforts. Registration is separate from your Zoo membership and very limited for this special event.
