Medical Mutual Dart Frog Dash: There’s Still Time
TOLEDO, Ohio -- Want to run a 5K, but not sure where to start? Let the Toledo Zoo help; you
still have time to register and get fit for the Medical Mutual Dart Frog Dash on Saturday, May
16.
With regular tips on training, nutrition and more right up to race day, the Zoo helps you get
ready, every step of the way. You're welcome to walk or run the course, which travels through
Zoo grounds and surrounding neighborhoods. Make it a family event with the 1K "fun run," just
for kids.
New for this year, as an optional extra for the Dart Frog Dash, runners can help the Zoo raise
the funds needed to purchase a spectacular Eurasian Eagle-Owl for this year’s daily bird
shows. It’s a great way to help yourself and help a treasured community organization at the
same time! Just ask friends to make online donations to show their support for your Dart Frog
Dash participation.
Medical Mutual is the title sponsor of the Dart Frog Dash; Dave’s Running is the packet pick-up
sponsor. Learn more at toledozoo.org/dartfrog.
The Toledo Zoo & Aquarium is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located on the Anthony
Wayne Trail (US 25), four miles south of downtown Toledo. For more information, please visit

region. It all splashes into Toledo on Friday, March 27, 2015.
