About the ZooRun
The course runs through Zoo Miami, which means the surroundings are unlike most road races. The shorter routes stay on paved pathways inside the zoo grounds, while the longer distance pushes out into the zoo's outer perimeter and through a rare Pine Rocklands habitat, where the surface shifts between pavement and natural, unpacked trail.
After the race, there is a finish festival with local restaurants, live music, and a beer garden. Runners also get access to the zoo itself once they finish, so the morning stretches well past the finish line if you want it to.

ZooRun 2025 Results
Going by the 2025 results, this is a big field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The ZooRun has been held every year since at least 2017. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
