The event director says he was pleased with this year’s turnout. “Great weather, I think everybody turned out ready and excited to support their BioPark,” says event director Kent Berry. “They got their strips on and their runner gear and they are really excited to cheer on their friends and really get into the event.”
All participants received a t-shirt and free zoo admission throughout the day as long as they brought their race band.
