Six Flags Wild Safari Cross Country Invitational ~ Run with the Animals!

September 13, 2011

The Wild Safari at Six Flags in Jackson , NJ is one of my very favorite places to visit. How cool will it be to run through the safari?


The Six Flags Wild Safari gets some new additions on Saturday, September 24, 2011 – RUNNERS! The 3.1 mile cross country meet allows competitors to run THROUGH the Wild Safari. Space is limited to the first 100 boys’ and 100 girls’ teams. HUGE discounts on theme park admission available to competitors, coaches and spectators. Visit http://sixflagswildsafariinv.com/ for more information on how to register your team today!

Meet Highlights:
Approximately 1.2 miles of the race will take place in the Animal Safari where the athletes will run with the animals.

Save on admission! All athletes, coaches, and spectators are invited to play in the Theme Park and attend an awards ceremony for just $20 + tax per person! That’s a HUGE savings off the regular admission price of $54.99 per person.

Teams will be finished competing all their races in just 2 hr after they start their 1st race (includes boys and girls Varsity, JV and frosh races). That means more time in the park!

Attendees are invited to enjoy the Theme Park and attend the “All Six Flags Great Adventure Team” awards presentation at 3:00 pm in the Showcase Theater featuring the top 7 boys/girls and fastest boys/girls team. (Theme Park Admission ticket required to attend awards ceremony) Fastest runners, fastest ride! Award winners will then skip the line and take a ride on the Kingda Ka.

The Theme Park operating hours on September 25th, 2010 are 10:30 am – 9:00 pm.
