Captain Fleming's Gator Fun Run

Captain Fleming's Second Annual Gator Fun Run is a family-friendly 5K event taking place at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium. This unique run commemorates a historical incident involving an alligator escape in the 1920s. Participants can enjoy a scenic route through the zoo, with a $50 donation granting access to the race and a t-shirt, as well as all-day entry to the zoo.
