Event Overview
The Loop the Lemur at the Ross Park Zoo is a timed running and walking event held in Binghamton, New York. Participants navigate a .8-mile loop located entirely within the zoo grounds. The event is designed for all ability levels, allowing participants to run, walk, or stroll at their own pace.
Participants can choose from three distinct events:
