Mark your calendars for an unforgettable Thanksgiving morning filled with community spirit, health, and fun!
Organiser's Description
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!
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BIRDIE DERBY IS THE ONLY THANKSGIVING RACE THAT DONATES 100% OF PROCEEDS?
