Attention all rabbits, runners and walkers, it's wabbit-season!  Want to enjoy a unique experience at the nation's oldest Zoo while helping to free the world of Parkinson’s disease? Join Shake It Off, Inc. for their 3rd Annual Philly Rabbit Run 5k/1m run or walk.

Start and finish at the zoo.  Participants will enjoy an extraordinary opportunity to run inside the zoo’s 42 acres of lush gardens with more than 1200 rare/endangered animals from around the world before it is open to the public.

  • As a special bonus, free rabbit ears while supplies last.
  • Post event party with live music by Scarlett Sometime.
  • Finisher Medals.
  • This is a USATF Certified and chip-time course by Chester County Running Store.

Also, as an added convenience, parking is available for a fee.  Spectators can buy a ticket to the zoo at a reduced rate the day of the event to cheer you on and also enjoy the zoo afterwards.

By the way, Parkinson's isn't going to cure itself.  Help us kick off Parkinson's Awareness Month (its coming up in April) by "Fun Raising".  Top fundraiser wins an awesome Prize.  Also, become a Rabbit Ambassador (kind of like a Team Captain but only warmer & fuzzier) and form a Team. First place prize is FITBIT for the Rabbit Ambassador (aka Team Captain) who recruits the most Rabbit Runners!
