• Description: John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, Michigan is the setting for this venue. Providing ample parking and space for a first class event like this. The venue also offers a landscape of varying terrain as well as the Zoo of course. The event is great for the entire family with 3 events offered. 5k one loop, 10k will be two loops, and the kids course. The race will feature a half mile flat, fast warm-up then a heart pounding 450m hill climb taking you to the top of the zoo. Then a potentially fast downhill section, potentially because it takes you through the zoo past the monkeys, the lions, the bears, and several other zoo residents. So you will have to make the decision if you will fly past them and stop to take a look. Then the final mile of the course will be around the zoo, flat and time to put the hammer down. 10k athletes will get to climb twice which makes this a perfect event for those training for one of the fall marathons.
