Nogawild Safari Run at North Georgia Wildlife Park
The Nogawild Safari Run is a timed and untimed run/walk event held at NOGAWILD (North Georgia Wildlife Park) with proceeds benefiting Creation Encounters. The main course is a 5k that uses two loops through the Safari Park and surrounding woods, totaling about three miles for the 5k wave.
The course is all-terrain and includes gravel, asphalt, dirt, mulch, uneven trail sections, and two small water crossings with pavers or boards in place. The woods along the route can be bypassed in favor of an additional loop around the Safari Park. There is one water station placed so participants pass it around mile 1 and again around mile 2.
Distances available:
- 5k about 3 miles with two loops through the Safari Park
- 1 mile Fun Run
- Virtual Run option
Included for participants are a handmade pottery medallion, a raffle ticket, and a meet-and-greet with Scottish Highland cows that will be on lead. Capybaras and other park animals can be seen along the course. Safari Run themed t-shirts may be pre-ordered during registration; orders must be placed before Tuesday, September 1st to guarantee sizes, and extras on race day are limited.
For safety, participants must stay on designated roads and paths and not approach exhibits or fences; selected animal ambassadors will be available to interact with after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
