Taking place on Thursday, November 27, 2025 in Fitchburg, WI (5200 E Cheryl Pkwy / Capital City Trail area), the Birdie Derby is produced by Active Youth Wisconsin as a family-friendly Thanksgiving tradition that donates 100% of proceeds to support youth activity programs. The event features a chip-timed 10K (typically starting before the 5K), a 5K run/walk, an untimed Kids Dash for ages ~2–6, plus virtual race options and team entries for participants who can’t attend in person.
