Zoo Atlanta Run Like Wild 5K

The event is the sixth annual Run Like Wild 5K held through Zoo Atlanta. Participants can run, walk, or trot along a course that passes zoo grounds and may offer views of animals. The race is presented as Atlanta's only 5K that is a Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race qualifier.

Two participation options are offered: an in-person 5K and a virtual entry. Virtual registration includes a t-shirt and a race medal. Registration is available online only; there is no mail-in or race day registration. Registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

The event is held rain or shine. In the case of extreme weather, organizers will post updates and notify registered participants by email. The cost of registration supports Zoo Atlanta operations, including animal care, education, and conservation efforts across the globe.

The event has sold out in previous years. The description emphasizes the qualifier status for the Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race and the fundraising purpose tied to zoo operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
