Race Information
The Robert I. Damie Race for Our Kids is a community-centered road event hosted at The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore, featuring professionally timed 5K and 10K races alongside a family-friendly 1-mile walk. The event raises funds for several beneficiaries—including the Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital at Sinai, the Rubin Institute’s Save‑A‑Limb Fund, Center for Hope, and The Family Tree—and honors the legacy of Robert I. Damie. Participants receive technical or casual event apparel, finisher medals, and zoo admission, and enjoy a festive post-race celebration complete with activities, refreshments, and community camaraderie. Chip timing, on-course support, and a welcoming atmosphere ensure accessibility for a wide range of runners and walkers.
