Event Description
Run wild at the nation's oldest zoo on April 20, 2019 at the 5th Annual Philly Rabbit Run 5k race/1m walk at the Philadelphia Zoo to benefit Parkinson's Disease and to kick off PD Awareness Month in April.
Make tracks to the zoo and join Shake It Off, Inc. for their 5th Annual Philly Rabbit Run 5k run/1m walk. Participants will enjoy an extraordinary opportunity to run inside the nation's oldest zoo’s 42 acres of lush gardens with more than 1200 rare/endangered animals before it is open to the public. For the serious runner, this is a USATF certified course and is chip-timed race, but also a great time for the leisurely walker.
