Loop the Lemur at the Ross Park Zoo

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.


As the Zoo closes, they nestle in for another evening and think to themselves:
_I have a great personality._
_All the other lemurs tell me Im good looking._
_I have a lot of good jokes._
_WHY DO WE ONLY GET TO SEE OUR VISITORS ONE TIME?_


And it was in this quiet reflection that the INAUGURAL ROSS PARK ZOO LOOP THE LEMUR was born.__

Join us on 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 youre 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

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 dont care!

Stick around after your event and celebrate at the Tail-Gate Party presented by Brooks (likea lemur tail, get it?), where food, beverage, live music, and an all-around good time will be provided!

The black-and-white ruffed lemur, sadly, is a critically endangered friend. A portion of the proceeds will go back to The Ross Park Zoo in support of their efforts for the conservation of their endangered species. Consider adding a bit more to your registration to help keep Menabe, Rizzo, and their families safe in habitats that protect them and ensure their survival.
