🦃 ONE MONTH UNTIL BIRDIE DERBY!

One month until the starting line fills with thousands of runners and walkers.

One month until the coffee's hot, the Glazers are ready, and Thanksgiving morning kicks off the best way we know how.

And one month until we turn all those miles into more opportunities for local kids to move, play, and grow. 🧡

Don't just show up for Thanksgiving dinner. Show up for something bigger.

👉 Register for Birdie Derby

A great Thanksgiving tradition takes a great community. 🧡🦃

A huge THANK YOU to Madison Top for being part of Birdie Derby this year!

Because of businesses that choose to give back, Birdie Derby can do more than bring thousands of people together on Thanksgiving morning. It helps Active Youth Wisconsin create opportunities for kids to be active, build confidence, and find joy in movement.

We're grateful to have you in our flock!

Good friends. Bad jokes. Questionable Thanksgiving morning decisions. 🦃😂

Some things are just better together—and Birdie Derby is one of them!

Grab your running buddies, coworkers, family, or that friend who's been saying they'll run a 5K with you for the last three years.

Create a team, come up with a ridiculous name, and make Thanksgiving morning something you'll all look forward to.

🏃‍♀️ 5K or 10K
🚶 All paces welcome
🧡 100% of proceeds support local kids
