AWARE Wildlife Night Owl 5K
The AWARE Wildlife Night Owl 5K is a run and walk event held on May 30, 2026 at Panola Mountain State Park near Atlanta. The event takes place at 4963 Flat Bridge Road in Stockbridge, Georgia, and all proceeds benefit AWARE's wildlife rehabilitation and education work.
AWARE accepts injured and orphaned native Georgia wildlife, cares for injured animals, raises orphaned animals when needed, and works to return animals to the wild when possible. Non releasable AWARE wildlife will be present at the start and finish areas to greet participants and be available for photos. Participants receive a t shirt and there is a chance to win medals.
About half of participants walk, so the field includes a mix of walkers and runners. The event description focuses on community support for wildlife rehabilitation and on opportunities to see and photograph animals that cannot be released.
