Join us on Sunday, May 17, 2026, show your support for the zoo and loop the lemurs as many times as you can in a 2-hour, or 1-hour event! With every lap that you complete, wave to our lemurs, Menabe & Rizzo, take a selfie, give them an air high-five, and if you’re lucky – you might hear them cheer you on! The more times you loop the lemurs, the happier they will be, and the more support you will show for our beloved zoo! Run to be competitive, walk with a goal, or just stroll and enjoy the beautiful zoo loop; no matter how you do it, you will be supporting Menabe & Rizzo and all of the wonderful animals at the Ross Park Zoo, with 100% of the net proceeds going directly to the zoo.
Loop the Lemur and earn your custom shirt and custom medal, along with admission into the zoo for the day!
During your loops through the zoo, you will also pass Red Wolves, Leopards, Binturongs, Lynus the Black Vulture, Owls, Arctic Foxes, Howler Monkeys, Red Pandas, Peacocks, Sand Cats, Fennec Fox, Cinereous Vultures, Pallas’s Cats, Sheep, Goats and more!
Participants of all abilities are invited to take part in this one-of-a-kind event and can choose from 3 different events:
Loop the Lemur 2 Hour
Loop the Lemur 1 Hour
Little Lemur Kids Fun Run
Each event is timed and consists of covering the .8 loop inside the Ross Park Zoo as many times as you can or desire. Run, walk, skip, crawl, LEMUR SHUFFLE – it’s up to you!
