Course
The 5K starts on 10 Mile Service Drive in Royal Oak, Michigan, runs through the neighbouring streets of Huntington Woods and finishes inside the Detroit Zoo beside the Red Panda Forest. A separate 1.25-mile Fun Walk stays on zoo paths at a leisurely pace, with education and treat stops along the way.
