H-E-B Cameron Park Zoo Stampede

🐾 Welcome to the H-E-B Cameron Park Zoo Stampede!

“G'Day, Mates!!” Get ready for an exciting race experience as Cameron Park Zoo welcomes its newest residents - Australian Red Kangaroos! These incredible creatures are hopping into their new home, and we cannot wait for you to meet them during your race!

🏃‍♂️ Channel Your Inner Kangaroo

• Inspiration: As you race the H-E-B Zoo Stampede course, imagine channeling the power and speed of the red kangaroo—the largest marsupial on Earth and Australia’s high-hopping heavyweight!
• Leap and Speed: These amazing animals can leap up to 25 feet in a single bound and hit speeds of 35 to 40 mph. That is some serious running inspiration!
• Physical Attributes: Males can grow up to 6 feet tall and weigh around 200 pounds, while speedy females—nicknamed "blue flyers"—are smaller, sleek, and blue grey in color.
• Built for Movement: With powerful legs and tails that work like a third leg for balance and propulsion, kangaroos are built for movement across the wide-open plains of Australia.

🎟️ Registration Details

Whether you are racing for a personal best or just leaping along for fun, channel your inner Roo and hop to it! Registration is limited to 850 runners. Early registration not only guarantees you a race spot, but also a T-shirt and finisher medal!
