Organiser's Description

Remember all the hugs and handshakes youve had on Labor Day mornings since 2015 at the Bluebird Run and Walk for Brookie B? Lets do it again. If youve just found out about us, you dont want to miss this.

Our 5K trail course is one of the most beautiful and challenging in Tallahassee. Wide multi-use trails make a loop through the greenway, starting and ending at the trailhead. Past participants have said, Youll never forget your first Bluebird.

Our 1 Mile Fun Run course is unique with an out-and-back canopy trail that crosses the Lafayette Heritage Canopy Bridge. A treat for runners and walkers alike, there is a water station at the turnaround on the other side of the bridge.

A huge tent with party lights will welcome you to the greenway as registration begins at 7:00 am. There will be sports drinks, bottled water, watermelon, bananas and an assortment of treats including sno-cones. Be sure to visit Memory Lane, a tribute to all the loved ones we have lost to suicide. Our Mental Health Fair will give you the opportunity to receive information from many of our local mental health care providers. Bluebird is both a fun athletic event and an outstanding community event for suicide awareness and prevention.

We expect to have a lot of walkers in this event, so we are offering entry fees both with and without timing. If you want to record an official time you will receive a race bib. If you do not want to record an official time you will not receive a race bib.
