Menabe and Rizzo, the elusive black-and-white ruffed lemurs sit quietly at the entrance of the Ross Park Zoo - the fifth oldest zoo in the nation. Typically greeting visitors as they enter, those same visitors always forget to say goodbye to Menabe and Rizzo on their way out.
And it was in this quiet reflection that the Inaugural Ross Park Zoo Loop the Lemur was born.
Join us on Sunday, May 18, 2025, and loop the lemurs as many times as you can in a 6-hour, 2-hour, or 1-hour event! With every lap that you complete, wave to the lemurs, take a selfie, give them an air high-five, and if you’re lucky - you might hear them cheer you on! The more times you loop the lemurs, the happier they will be and the closer you will get to The Lemur Hall of Legends (we'll take your picture and hang it up inside their habitat for them to look at and remember until next year).
All participants of all abilities are invited to take part in this one-of-a-kind event and can choose from 3 different events:
Loop the Lemur 6 Hour
Loop the Lemur 2 Hour
Loop the Lemur 1 Hour
Lemur to Leopard Family Fun Run
Each event is only timed and consists of running the .8 loop inside the Ross Park Zoo as many times as you can. Run, walk, skip, crawl, LEMUR SHUFFLE - we don’t care!
All registrants will receive a custom Loop the Lemur shirt, a custom medal, and access to the Tail-Gate Party presented by Brooks. Register by May 1 to guarantee your shirt on race day.
Custom and one-of-a-kind awards will be given to:
Overall Male and Female
