Salisbury Zoo Stampede 5K Run/Walk

The Salisbury Zoo hosts its annual Zoo Stampede, sponsored by Vernon Powell Shoes. The route meanders through the Zoo and along Salisbury City Park's greenway, primarily on a crushed-stone path. Participants are encouraged to embrace creativity and dress in animal costumes, with prizes for the most imaginative ensemble. Entry fees vary, with proceeds supporting the Zoo. The event offers tech shirts for early registrants, refreshments after the race, and the chance to win door prizes. Overall winners and top age group finishers will receive gift certificates or medals. Pets are prohibited, except for service animals.
