Raptor 5K Run/Walk
RAPTOR Inc. has been a leader in bird of prey conservation in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky for over 44 years. RAPTOR Inc.’s conservation activities include rescue and rehabilitation of ill and injured birds of prey, conducting field research at the Raptor Center and at local nesting sites, collaborating with other like-minded conservation organizations, and educating the public about the value of these birds to the environment. Your participation in this event helps RAPTOR Inc. purchase essential items such as food, medications, medical supplies, and maintenance equipment necessary to fulfill our mission to conserve our magnificent local birds of prey.
Each year a different local bird of prey will be featured. A few 2022 medals featuring the image of a Great Horned Owl and the 2023 medals featuring the image of a Peregrine Falcon will be available for purchase on Race Day. The 2024 medals and t-shirts will feature the image of a turkey vulture. The turkey vulture was chosen to honor the life of Earl, an avian ambassador that resided at the Raptor Center for 40 years. Earl helped us educate thousands of guests about the importance of vultures to the environment and their fascinating adaptations for survival. Earl will be sorely missed.
