About this race

🌟 Event Overview

Experience the Fort Wayne Zoo like never before!

Imagine running through a dazzling display of giant lanterns on a 1-mile course, lighting up your path in vibrant colors and shapes. This unique race promises a blend of competition and enchantment, perfect for all ages.

🏃‍♀️ Race Details

  • Course: 1-mile course around the zoo featuring beautiful, large lantern displays. It will not be dark at this time.
  • Timing: Not a timed race, but a race nonetheless!
  • Medals: Placement-based medal per wave: Cheetah Medals for the first 10 racers, Gazelle Medals for the next 10 racers, etc.
  • Wave Information: All waves follow the same route: only the start times differ. If you are a walker or a slower runner, register for the Yellow, Rainbow or White Wave. After all race waves conclude (around 8:40 PM), participants can revisit the course at their leisure and enjoy the stunning displays until 11:00 PM, free of charge.

📜 Important Notes

  • Coupon: Racers will receive a coupon on their race bib to use at any of the food or drink (non-alcoholic) vendors inside the Zoo. The Peacock Café, Ray’s Grill, Bamboo Snack Station, Slice and Carousel Canteen will have Asian cuisine offerings available.
  • Course Clearance: All participants need to have cleared the course by 8:40 PM for reopening.
  • Registration: No On-Site Registration!
