Penguin Waddle

Join Essex County Turtle Back Zoo and Fleet Feet Montclair for a wild morning of miles and fun!

Sunday, October 18
8:30 AM
Start: Essex County Turtle Back Zoo Front Entrance
 Finish: African Adventure inside the Zoo

Get ready to waddle, run, or walk your way through a 3-mile course (or take the roughly 2-mile Safari Shortcut) before crossing the finish line inside the Zoo for a one-of-a-kind celebration!

Post-run Essex County Turtle Back Zoo admission is included with registration. Stick around after the run to explore and say hello to the animals.
The first 300 participants to register will receive custom pom-pom beanie (a $35 value)

This event is perfect for the whole family—whether you sprint like a cheetah, stroll like a tortoise, or waddle like a penguin, everyone’s invited to join the fun.

Costumes, animal spirit, and family smiles are highly encouraged!
