When
Sunday 11 October 2026, 5K 8:30am, family walk 8:45am

LifeBridge Health's 5K and one-mile family walk through the Zoo, with check-in from 7:30, a celebration at 9 and awards at 9:30. With fees, the 5K is $50.45, the walk $28.97 for 15 and over and $18.23 for 6 to 14, and under 6 free. No refunds. No strollers, skates or scooters on the 5K, though strollers are fine on the walk, and no pets. Parking at the Zoo is free, and Zoo tickets that day are $15 for 6 and over once it opens at 10. The city closes Beechwood Drive between Safari Place and Swann Drive from about 5am to noon, and the course through Druid Hill Park while the race is on; its release calls it a 10K starting at 8, which the race's own pages do not.

Read off the race's own Race Roster page and its event information page for the schedule, the prices, the rules, the parking and the Zoo tickets, read Oct 7, 2026; the road closures from Baltimore City DOT's weekend road closures release of Oct 8, 2026.
