Join us Thursday evening November 7th at 6:00 pm for an after hours evening of holiday Zoo fun. Registration is limited for this special event and will need to check in with Red Coyote staff to enter. Runners will access the zoo through the Bus Entry on the West side of the property, (see map below).
Celebrate the season with an amazing run / walk around the the holiday displays set up for the OKC Zoo's 2024 Safari Lights! Get a preview of the 2 mile drive through route before the attraction is opened for the season to auto traffic. The course is flat to gently rolling and suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities.
This run is different from the Summer Zoo PPR in that we'll start outside on 50th street and run down Richardson Drive to enter the Zoo property on the south side. We'll finish in the Bus Plaza courtyard where our Vendor Village will be set up. We ask that all runners meet back at the start no later than 7:00pm for post run activities. The zoo gates will close at 8:00 so we'll all be out by then.
