Family Fun Frolic presented by Family Connections

Please join Family Connections in their 22nd Annual Fun Run, their first Family Fun Frolic, a 5k race, 1-mile fun run and walk, and Kids 100 Meter Dash at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Saturday, June 29th, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. 

This is our first year at the zoo, and we can’t wait to see you there!  However, we are also excited to share that Family Frolics can take place anywhere, and a virtual race option is available this year!

This year's Family Fun Frolic, formerly the DadsDay Run, raises funds for Family Connections. FC offers early literacy services to children from birth to six years of age across Cuyahoga County in our Family Playrooms and through our SPARK and Family School Connection programs.
