Event Description

For all 21+ Zoo Brew enthusiasts and adventure seekers - the NEW Zoo Brew Kickoff 0.5K is on Saturday, May 23rd, 2020. Taking place at the Zoo, your efforts will be rewarded with cold brews, rocking out with Suede, sampling from local breweries and as always, enjoying and learning more about animals! Not many can brag that they demolished a 1/3 mile "run"...join a league of champions and conquer the toughest athletic event this side of the Mississippi.

Each runner will receive a special Zoo Brew 0.5K t-shirt, samples galore from local breweries, and full access to the Blank Park Zoo for the entire day. 

For those 21+ who aren't in the mood to run, you can still come out and enjoy Zoo Brew! The Zoo Brew experience is covered in the cost of Zoo admission. You can purchase your admission ahead of time, or pay at the door. Must have a valid photo ID to enter the Zoo Brew area. Admission to the post-run Zoo Brew party is free for Blank Park Zoo members.
