After Hours Private Zoo Entrance

Your registration fee includes entrance to the Denver Zoo for our after hours private event. This includes the opportunity to Drop Your Drawers (drop a package of children’s underwear for the chance to win great prizes)! Note for each new package of children's underwear you bring, you get an additional ticket to participate in the Drop Your Drawers game. In addition, most animal exhibits will be open for viewing.

Family Zoo Loop

This is an approximately one mile walk through the various zoo animal exhibits. Pre-registered Family Zoo Loop participants can check-in at the main entrance of the zoo. Day-of registration for the zoo loop will not be available in this area. Day-of registration for the zoo loop will be available at the 5K registration area located in City Park near 23rd Ave. and York St from 5:30 p.m. – 6:15 p.m.

Drop Your Drawers & Run Wild 5K

This 5K run/walk follows the Mile High Loop at City Park near downtown Denver. The trail, fully completed during the summer of 2009, follows a full 5k (3.1 mile) route, and tracks along the city’s 5280 contour line- so you’re exercising at exactly a mile high! A course map has been posted to our website at http://www.underwearness.org/?p=69.
