Feeding Local Minds
Did you know that 100% of proceeds from the Berbee Derby go to the Madison-based Technology Education Fund (TEF)? Did you know the Berbee Derby gave almost $107,000 of grants in 2019? TEF benefits area children, teen and adults who do not have access to computers, software, and many other technology resources. This has been spotlighted by NBC15 in a report analyzing local Thanksgiving charity runs.
"Our family does the Berbee Derby every year - we wouldn't think of missing it!"
Thank you for a very well run race. Everything was top notch, from check-in to all aspects of race day. I was especially impressed with the number of port-o-potties. Also love my really cool (and useful) bottle opener!
"I love being able to race with a good group of friends. What an amazingly fun event!"
"There were lots of smiles, laughs and joking around. It was fun to be a part of the Berbee Derby. I think I'm coming to understand my wife's addiction to this race!"
I’ve run in many events like this all over WI, MN, IL and ND and yours was the best organized event I’ve ever experienced. I will definitely run this race again whenever we’re in the area for Thanksgiving.
"The Berbee Derby was a great start to the Thanksgiving holiday–and afterwards at home, we all enjoyed an extra slice of pie!"
"I love running...and all I can say is this is a very well-organized event. I am thankful for starting out my Thanksgiving with the Berbee Derby."
