Run With The Wolves

Lace up for the annual Run With The Wolves, a cherished Atlanta tradition taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This popular event, hosted by the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (ANCS) PTCA since 2012, welcomes runners and walkers of all ages and abilities to its vibrant Ormewood Park neighborhood course. Participants can choose between a challenging 5K or a fun 1-mile walk/run. The scenic road course offers a dynamic mix of engaging hills and ample flat terrain, providing both a test for seasoned runners and an enjoyable experience for beginners.

Starting and finishing at the ANCS Middle Campus at 820 Essie Avenue SE, the Run With The Wolves is more than just a race; it's a family-friendly affair focused on promoting healthy lifestyles and fitness awareness within the community. For those looking to push their limits, the 5K distance is also a certified Atlanta-Journal Constitution Peachtree Road Race Qualifier, offering a fantastic opportunity to secure a qualifying time for the prestigious 2027 event. Typical race day conditions in early May feature comfortable highs around 78°F and lows near 54°F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather. All proceeds from the event directly benefit the ANCS PTCA. Be sure to register early to secure your limited-edition 2026 Run With The Wolves t-shirt!
