Fun Photo Friday: Shenga

Shenga, One of Cleveland Metropark Zoo's Newest Elephants

What does Shenga and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland have in common?

We will both have a debut at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! On May 5, Cleveland Zoo will officially open the Elephant Crossing Exhibit! A project years in the making, the new exhibit will give the resident elephants a beautiful and expansive new home!

And on June 25th, Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland will host our Race for Kids & Wellness Festival for the first time at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! We will have fun activities for the whole family including a scavenger hunt for the kids, health-related vendors for the adults, delicious food, fun music, arts & crafts, a balloon clown and MUCH, MUCH MORE! After completing the 5k or 1 mile course, you can head over to Elephant Crossing and meet Shenga and the other elephants that call Cleveland home.

A discounted zoo admission is included in the registration fee! Family registration rates are available for the 1 mile course, so everyone can get out and enjoy a Saturday at the Zoo.

Don't wait! Register for the race today at https://bgccleveland.myetap.org/raceforkids/!

Need an easy 5k training program to get you started on reaching your goals? I used the Novice 5k training program by Hal Higdon last year and thought it was perfect!
