Walk for the Wild... Walk for the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge!

Join in the challenge to get people moving a distance of 5K (or more) in nature and raise funds to support the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

We would love to have you join us virtually and walk/swim/run/bike 5K at a natural area near you sometime during the week of October 8 - 15.  Next week is National Wildlife Refuge week!

How you can help:

1. Donate - By making a donation to our team, 100% of your support will benefit Refuge projects at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and, thanks to the support of national donors and the Public Lands Alliance, a portion of your gift will be matched by the Amplifier Fund. To make a donation, click “Donate” above or make an optional donation when registering to participate in our event.

2. Join our Event - Sign up for free to join the 5K Challenge to raise awareness of the National Wildlife Refuge System and Team Friends of Aransas NWR by walking or moving 5K virtually in your own community or at a local national wildlife refuge during National Wildlife Refuge Week (October 8th-15th).

3. Spread the Word - Join our team and use the sharing tools on this page to share your support to your family, friends, and colleagues and request your network also join in.  Don’t forget to take and share photos as you participate in the 5K Challenge or enjoy a visit to Aransas NWR!  Be sure to tag us using #WalkForTheWild and #WildlifeRefuge #AransasNWR
