Riverview Park & Zoo Fun Run & Walk – Race Day Summary

The race starts and finishes at Riverview Park & Zoo in Peterborough, following an out-and-back course that’s safe and fully contained within zoo property—perfect for runners and walkers of all ages!

Both the 1K and 5K races will be chip timed, so you can track your pace while enjoying the scenic, animal-filled surroundings.
