Run Wild!

5K Run/Walk for Wildlife!

Held on Saturday April 19, 2025 @ 9:30am and supports our Wildlife Ambassadors at BNC!

If you enjoy running or hiking on woodland trails, you’ll love BNC’s 5K Run Wild for Wildlife! This 5K run/walk starts and finishes at the parking lot and winds through the woods along wildflower studded trails. Steep hills and rough terrain is involved but you can handle it!  Bring a friend, but leave Fido at home, pets are not allowed at BNC – they scare our wildlife! (Pre-registration event only)

Entry fees include an eco-friendly bag of goodies, plus the opportunity to add on a cool race T-shirt (see design to the left)!  All proceeds from this fundraiser support our wildlife program.  Did you know that we are home to over 50 Wildlife Ambassadors?  These native Ohio species are no longer able to survive in the wild and are the stars of every one of our programs and fundraisers!  Be sure to check them out after the event.

Thank you to our sponsors (will update as we hear back from everyone): Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, Upper Valley Hearing & Balance, Western Ohio Podiatric, Alvetro Orthodontics, Edison State Community College, State Community College, Greentech Lawn & Irrigation, Hamler-Gingrich Insurance, NiteScapes Outdoor Lighting Professionals, and Team G(race).
