ZooRun5K & ZooKidsDash

ZooRun5K & ZooKidsDash is held in Miami, Florida, on November 14, 2026. The 10K and the 5K start first at 7:30 a.m., followed by the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the kids' run at 8:30 a.m., so the shorter distances are underway before the longest one begins.

A zoo-based road event of this kind usually draws families as much as racers, and the lineup reflects that: the kids' run gives children a distance of their own while adults take on anything from 5K to 13.1 miles. If the half is your target, a 12- to 16-week build with one weekly long run reaching 10 or 11 miles will get you there in shape. Runners who want to race hard and be finished early should take the 10K, which starts an hour before the half and asks for far less recovery.
