Before the Zoo wakes, we run.
Something spooky is creeping into Memphis Zoo this fall. Join us October 24 for the brand-new Howl-O-Ween Hustle 5K Presented by Orion Financial, a Halloween-themed race through the Zoo.
Throw on your costume, lace up your running shoes, and hit the course before the Zoo opens. Can’t join us in person?
A virtual option lets you run from anywhere.
Whether you’re chasing a PR or just here for the Halloween fun, get ready for a spooky morning at the Zoo.
Join us for a post-race after-party at the finish line!
