Can you believe it’s race week for the #OasisZoo

Can you believe it’s race week for the #OasisZooRun?!! 🦦❣️

It’s almost time to zoom through @thetorontozoo, and here’s all the things we’ve got going on leading up to Saturday 🤠.

Everyone, meet Sue 👋! A member on our #OasisZoo

Everyone, meet Sue 👋! A member on our #OasisZooRun Community Team! 🦦⁠
⁠
When we say that this isn’t Sue’s first rodeo, we mean it! She participated in her first Oasis ZooRun in 2013, and has only missed 2015 and 2023! So, don’t be a stranger - and be sure to say hi if you see her next week ☺️! We also got to chat with her about why she comes back every year ❣️...⁠
⁠
I love @TheTorontoZoo and I love running so when you put the 2 together it’s a perfect match for me! I love the fact that both the 5km and the 10km races are challenging with all the hills and the chance of seeing animals while running is always exciting.⁠
⁠
My favorite part of the course is running past the camels, since you can smell them before you see them (and it’s not the most pleasant smell) it gives you great incentive to run faster 🐪. The arctic wolves always seem very active while the race is on as well, so it’s always fun to run by that area too 🐺.⁠
⁠
2013 was when I started running more races and the Oasis ZooRun instantly stood out as a must do - it was close to home and one of my favourite places to visit so it seemed like one that I had to sign up for. I ran the 5km in 2013 and 2014 and then missed 2015 as I had my son that summer but I was back in the 5km in 2016. I don’t remember which year I switched to the 10km but I remember one year picking up my bib and making a last minute switch to the 10km and I’ve stuck with the 10km ever since. I sadly missed 2023 due to injury but I was back in 2024 and even snagged an age group award! Can’t wait to run this one again in a few weeks! 🥇
