Participants can anticipate a fun and scenic 5K experience, likely featuring a course that winds through or around the local zoo grounds. This means a good chance of encountering typical park-like terrain, which could include paved paths, grassy areas, and potentially some gentle inclines. The April date suggests generally pleasant spring weather, though participants should be prepared for variable conditions common to the season in Maryland, such as mild temperatures, potential for sunshine, or even a light breeze. The "stampede" in the title hints at a lively atmosphere, possibly with animal-themed elements or a family-friendly focus, making it an enjoyable outing for both serious runners and those looking for a leisurely walk.
