Savage & Associates joins the team for the Dart Frog Dash 5k Race at the Toledo Zoo
The Dart Frog Dash 5K at the Toledo Zoo is one of Toledo’s favorite annual run. The run/walk begins and ends in the zoo and draws a large crowd each year. This year’s event is being held on May 20, 2017. Savage & Associates is proud to be a sponsor for this family friendly event. In a recent lunch and learn event, associates learned helpful running techniques to avoid injury from a representative from Dave’s Running. Then spokespersons from the Toledo Zoo gave a presentation explaining how the race is bringing awareness to conservation in the community. By supporting the Toledo Zoo’s Medical Mutual Dart Frog Dash, you are supporting local and global conservation initiatives, including:
• Planting native prairies on 30+ acres throughout the community
• Increasing regional biodiversity while filtering rainwater run off before it enters rivers, streams, and Lake Erie
• Raising and releasing thousands of pollinators
• Partnering with AZA zoos to research and conserve endangered species and their habitats around the world
• Providing educational programming on and off Toledo Zoo grounds
This family-friendly event has something for everyone. For the runner, this is a 5k competitive race on a USTAF certified course but is also open to those who just want to walk the route. There is also a kids Fun Run for children ages 0-12.
Our Savage family will be there in force. Information for sign up can be found here. We invite everyone to register and enjoy your Zoo on race day.
