FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 4, 2015 CONTACT: Andi Norman, Director of Public Relations 419.385.5721 ext. 2098 or [email protected] 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.
