We will have three suits available:

Medium: Fits most gorillas up to 5'7"

Large: Fits most gorillas up to 6'1"

Extra Large: Fits our Silverback up to 6"4"ish.

The suits might be a bit snug, but it all depends on the length of your torso.

We also have a limited amount of XL suits so first come first serve.

Our suits for kids fit ages 7-9 or up to 4ft. tall. Please try not to squeeze your 12 year old who is 5ft into this suit. It looks really funny.

We can arrange to have your suit mailed to you for an additional cost. However, we will have a few dates for package pick-up at the Running Room. More to come so stay tuned.

11. How can I get around the course?

There will be two starts, one for runners and one for walkers. We encourage everyone to take it easy, be safe and have fun. Please no bikes, roller blades and nothing motorized will be allowed!This is a run/walk event.

12. Can I bring my dog?

Even though we all love our furry friends, it's highly encourage to leave them at home. Thanks for understanding.

13. How about a stroller for my youger gorillas?

Please feel free to bring a stroller but bring the kind that's good for outdoors as most of the course is not paved. The mall stroller for inside will leave your child a bit shaken.

We encurage participants to raise funds of $250.00. We have a great prize for the Highest Fundraising Gorilla!
