Fee options listed by the organizer include $45 for shirt plus medal and $35 for shirt only.
Event activities include a group warm-up session, an animal ambassador meet and greet, and a kids fun run with a Fun-Run medal for each child. Packet pick-up is scheduled at Seneca Park Zoo on July 16 and at Medved Running and Walking on July 18.
