San Antonio Zoo’s annual Zoo Run returns Sept. 8-9

The San Antonio Zoo’s annual race is back, calling on running enthusiasts to join the pack!

Adult participants can now register online for an 8-mile relay as part of a team or a solo run for the race’s 4-mile or 8-mile distances.

This event will take place on Friday, Sept. 8, from 6-9:30 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 9, the Kids Zoo Run — which offers a .25 or .5 mile option for youth participants — will be held from 8-10 a.m.

The adult race package includes a 2023 commemorative race T-shirt, a drawstring bag, two drink tickets, a runner’s bib and one adult admission ticket to the zoo.

For those that can’t participate in person, don’t worry — a virtual run option is also available. That event allows participants to complete the run in their neighborhood, at a local park or even on a treadmill.
