The same Berbee Derby experience you've loved for 20 years is back under new leadership and a new name! Join us for the Madison's Favorite Thanksgiving Day Tradition, the Birdie Derby 10K Run & 5K Run/Walk!

Can't make it on race day and you don't want to miss out on the tradition? Sign up for the virtual Birdie Derby!  And if you have a little one (2-6), they can participate in the Kids Dash, a great way to start the day!
