About the H-E-B Cameron Park Zoo Stampede
The Cameron Park Zoo is the setting here, and the course runs through it. The race has a theme built around one of the zoo's animals, which gives the morning a specific character you do not get at a road race through a neighborhood. Both a shorter and a longer distance option are offered, and both courses are certified.
The start is at the zoo itself, so plan for a zoo-adjacent arrival. Post-race, you are already at an attraction worth a walk around after you finish.
