The course will be clearly marked with arrows, signage, and volunteers. A photographer will be stationed at the finish line, so bring those big “I just did that!” smiles. A water station will be placed along the course for participants. Restrooms will be available both inside the park and in outdoor portable units. After finishing, join your running family for music, food, soft drinks, and special animal meet-and-greets with Tanganyika ambassadors.
