Dart Frog Dash is a rain or shine event.

The Toledo Zoo’s Dart Frog Dash is fun for the whole family! It offers a competitive 5k race with prizes or a relaxed 5k walk, a Kids’ Fun Run and non-competitive Zoo For All Walk. The 5k course takes participants through the neighborhood to the west of the Zoo, through the Zoo’s Tembo Trail and ends in Main Plaza. The Kids’ Fun Run and Zoo For All Walk take place within the safety of Zoo grounds.

Admission and parking is included in registration. Participants for all races should park in the Anthony Wayne Trail lot.
