Birdie Derby

Get in some exercise before the Thanksgiving festivities start! The Birdie Derby (previously known as Berbee Derby) is an annual Thanksgiving Day 10K run and 5K run/walk, and is a family-friendly event. Enjoy something fun before the busy day begins—a scenic run or walk along Fitchburg's Capital City Trail. The Derby is a fun-filled community event that has been running 15+ years strong!

The Birdie Derby offers a full range of amenities for its participants before and after the race. Warming tents, warm coffee will get you going, and complimentary snacks will fuel you back up after you finish. Complimentary “swag” includes long-sleeve t-shirts and free downloadable photos.
