Big Bird 5K 2026
One small route. One big reason to show up.
A 5K with a difference
Hosted by Kellie, her family and The Hibbs Lupus Trust, the Big Bird 5K is a brilliantly warm, wonderfully spirited day out for anyone who wants to move for a cause that matters.
Run it, jog it or walk it at your own pace.
Every step helps raise awareness of lupus and supports people and families living with it. Arrive ready to move, meet new people and make your miles matter.
