The Toledo Zoo’s Dart Frog Dash is for the whole family!  It offers an accurate 5k race with prizes, chip timing, a non-competitive 5k walk, Kids’ Fun Run and accessible Zoo For All Walk. The 5k course takes participants through the neighborhood to the west of the Zoo, through Tembo Trail and into the Main Plaza.  The Kids’ Fun Run and Zoo For All Walk are within the safety of Zoo grounds.

All Dart Frog Dash registrants are welcome to stay at the Toledo Zoo for the day free of charge with parking included on race day (Anthony Wayne Trail lot).

The Zoo For All Walk at Dart Frog Dash offers a non-competitive walk focused on fun and access for all! This option is designed with inclusivity in mind. 

We are working with the Toledo Police Department to ensure that street closures follow a "rolling pattern" so that as the last participant passes, the street will reopen and traffic will return to normal as quickly as possible. Please make adjustments to your schedule to avoid any inconvenience.
