Run with the Wolves 5K, 1 Mile and Health Fair

It's going to be one howling good time, and Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School hopes you'll be joining the pack for the first ever Run with the Wolves 5K, 1 Mile and Health Fair on Saturday, April 14.  On-site registration begins at 7:30 a.m. but pre-register before April 11 at http://www.active.com/running/atlanta-ga/run-with-the-wolves-2012.

Organized by the ANCS PTCA and Health and Wellness Committee, all of the Run with the Wolves 5K, 1 Mile and Health Fair events are open to the general public. The event includes a family friendly 5k and a 1mile run/walk through Ormewood Park. In addition to the race events, stay and check out the health fair with local health and wellness related vendors, food trucks, and activities for the whole family. 

All pre-registered participants for the 5k and 1 mile receive a specially designed short-sleeved, 100 percent cotton event shirt. All proceeds from the 5k and 1 mile runs benefit the ANCS PTCA. Food truck sales aid ANCS 8th graders in raising money for their annual trip to Washington, D.C.
