This year’s H-E-B Zoo Stampede is officially FULL — thank you to everyone who registered! We’ve reached our limit of 850 runners and can’t wait to see you on race day. 🦘🦘
Missed your chance this year? Be part of the herd next year — early registration opens June 1, 2026! 🦒🦒
"G'Day, Mates!!" Get ready for an exciting race experience as Cameron Park Zoo welcomes its newest residents - Australian Red Kangaroos! These incredible creatures are hopping into their new home, and we cannot wait for you to meet them during your race!
As you race the H-E-B Zoo Stampede course, imagine channeling the power and speed of the red kangaroo—the largest marsupial on Earth and Australia’s high-hopping heavyweight! These amazing animals can leap up to 25 feet in a single bound and hit speeds of 35 to 40 mph. That is some serious running inspiration!
Males can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh around 200 pounds, while the speedy females—nicknamed "blue flyers"—are smaller, sleek, and blue grey in color. With powerful legs and tails that work like a third leg for balance and propulsion, kangaroos are built for movement across the wide-open plains of Australia.
Whether you are racing for a personal best or just leaping along for fun, channel your inner Roo and hop to it! Registration is limited to 850 runners. Early registration not only guarantees you a race spot, but also a T-shirt and finisher medal!!
“Alright mates, catch ya later”!
IMPORTANT NOTES: Last year, for the first time in Zoo Stampede history, we sold out prior to Race Day. This year, we are capping the race entry to 850 participants, so be sure and register as soon as possible for the Year of the Kangaroo!
