Professionally timed in-person events are held at the Broomgrass Farm Community. Participants can enjoy the adventure of running or walking on non-technical cross-country trails that wind through fields and woods and along beautiful Back Creek. The events will be held rain or shine. Check-in starts at 7:30am. This is where you will pick up your bib and shoe timing chip. Please follow the signs to find the parking lot. It is a working farm, so do not drive on the fields or anywhere other than the designated areas.
Prizes will be mailed to the winners after the race, so once you are finished with the race, you can either stay to cheer on others or head out.
Preliminary results will be available almost immediately after you finish the race. You can go to the RunSignUp website to view your results. Final results will up within 24 hours.
Make sure you return the race timing chips to us at the race! These are the objects that we borrow from the professional timing company to make sure your race time is accurate! We use reusable chips, which is less strain on the environment in terms of trash as well as the materials it takes to make the chips.
Virtual participants can chose to run, walk, bike, hike or find another way to complete the distance. Feel free to get creative! Participants will then email their results and/or photos to Race4Birds@PotomacAudubon.org with the subject “My Results.”
All events require registration. This can take place online or on-site the day of the race, beginning at 7:30 am.
We are so grateful to all who register and support the Potomac Valley Audubon Society (PVAS). All proceeds benefit the PVAS’s programs and preserves. This is an important fundraiser for us, so no refunds will be offered. We are happy to send you a donation receipt upon request.
