This is a race I do every year because I love to support the Zoo, but also because it's a great race. I will say that every year the shirts are almost the same, just different colors. Nothing fancy about them and there isn't an expo. The price is cheap for the race though which makes sense to not have extra things like an expo. The BEST part of the race is that you get to go into the Zoo before it opens to the public and see the animals when you are done running. I get done running towards the beginning and therefore it feels like we have the zoo all to ourselves. Definitely perfect for photo opps! They have a great area post race for refueling and you can grab chocolate milk, banana, yogurt, bagel/muffin and then they have sponsors/vendors right in that area for you to check out. The awards are stuffed animals. For example, first in your age group was a normal sized stuffed animal, then medium for second place and third place was beanie baby sized. So adorable!!
