About this race
RED COYOTE RUN CLUB IS DOING THE HOLIDAY LIGHTS AT THE OKLAHOMA CITY ZOO!
Join us Thursday evening November 13th at 6:00 pm for an after hours evening of holiday Zoo fun. Registration is limited for this special event and will need to check in with Red Coyote staff to enter. Runners will access the zoo through the Bus Entry on the West side of the property, (see map below).
Celebrate the season with an amazing run / walk around the the holiday displays set up for the OKC Zoo's 2025 Safari Lights! Get a preview of the 2 mile drive through route before the attraction is opened for the season to auto traffic. The course is flat to gently rolling and suitable for runners and walkers of all abilities.
This run will start and finish in the Bus Plaza courtyard where our Vendor Village will be set up. We ask that all runners meet back at the start no later than 7:00pm for post run activities. The zoo gates will close at 8:00 so we'll all be out by then.
