Run. Walk. Wobble. Repeat.
Kick off Thanksgiving with 5,000+ of your closest friends at the Birdie Derby 5K/10K!
Run it. Walk it. Push a stroller. Bring the kids. Build a team. Chase a PR. Wear something ridiculous.
However you Derby, you're part of a Thanksgiving tradition that brings our community together and gives back to local kids.
The best part? 100% of proceeds stay local and support Active Youth Wisconsin.
Thanksgiving Starts at the Birdie Derby.
Before the turkey, football and inevitable afternoon nap, there's the Birdie Derby.
Join us Thanksgiving morning for a 5K run, 5K walk, 10K run or our free Kids Dash.
Whether you're here to race, walk with the family, keep a decades-long tradition alive or justify an extra piece of pie, there's a place for you at the starting line.
And this isn't just a really fun way to start Thanksgiving.
Birdie Derby is produced by Active Youth Wisconsin, and 100% of proceeds stay right here in our community, helping create more opportunities for kids to move, play and discover the joy of being active.
So grab your people. We'll bring the coffee, cocoa and Glazers.
100% of proceeds supports financial aid and the Grants 4 Schools program. The Grants 4 Schools program provides financial support to school-based wellness initiatives that promote student well-being. Each fall, we accept applications from teachers, students, and community members who have ideas for projects that can positively influence their students’ overall wellness. Since 2011, Tri 4 Schools has donated over half million dollars to over 200 schools.
