The course runs inside ZooTampa itself, looping through the zoo grounds. Younger children do a shorter single loop; older kids take a longer route with an extra loop. Parents can run alongside children in the shorter events, but the longer distance has a designated viewing area for parents instead. The races are staggered by age group through the morning.
