Red-Tail Run 5k Columbus

Join us for the Red-Tail Run, a 5k run and walk designed with Ohio Wildlife in mind! All proceeds benefit the Ohio Wildlife Center and Ohio native wildlife.

Voted the Other Paper's best charity event of 2006!

The run and walk will begin and end at the Ohio Wildlife Center's Wildlife Conservation and Education Facility, located in the Shawnee Hills area near Dublin, Powell, and the Columbus Zoo. Directions and course info can be found here. The course is fantastic. The race will take runners and walkers through the semi-rural setting of southern Delaware county just north of Shawnee Hills, and will be followed with food and awards. Participants will also receive FREE admission to OWC's annual WildFest which will be held the same day from 10am until 5pm. Visit OWC's website for more information about WildFest events: www.ohiowildlifecenter.org. It's a great place to bring the whole family!
