Race Around Birds 2022

Virtual race: October 22 – November 4 • Birds of Vermont Museum (outdoors)
In-person race: November 5 • Birds of Vermont Museum (outdoors)

The Birds of Vermont Museum is hosting the third annual Race Around Birds trail run! There are two options for runners (and walkers), and you can even do both:

  • Race Day run: Saturday, November 5th, at 10a.m. This is a typical trail run, and approximately 5k. We can welcome up to 50 runners. (Please carpool)
  • On-Your-Own (Virtual) Race: choose a day between October 22 and November 4th, and record your time on the paper forms (available at the Museum’s front door).

Free (donations welcome)
