Event Description
Listen up, humans! It's ya boi Harambe, swingin' back from the great jungle in the sky to throw the most legendary memorial run this side of the savannah. ALL MONKEY BUSINESS. 🦍
Come gather with my wild troop at Bridgeway Station for the Harambe Memorial 3K, a run so majestic, even the zebras are jealous. I want YOU and all your shirtless, sweaty friends to honor me by stampeding across the glorious Harambe Bridge. That's right, I got a bridge, baby! Silverbacks don't play.
We'll jog, shuffle, or full-on banana-sprint 2 glorious miles (math is hard, okay?) in my memory.
And when you're done? ONE FREE BEER & Banana from The Pub at The City Market.
