How long will it take?
That depends on how fast you
are. A 5.6K is exactly 3.5 miles and if you
are running, it will probably take about 25-30
minutes. Last year's winning time was 17 minutes.
For those walking the 5.6K, it should not
take more than 1 hour. |

Can I enter as a team or family?
Yes! You can create a team
and enter as a theme gorilla team. For example:
Hula Gorilla Team and you all wear hula skirts.
There will be an awardfor the “The biggest

team or even your real family to form a gorilla
team? Last year our largest team was 24 gorillas!
