Birders may not run along trails for fear of missing that next new lifer, but runners can have some feathered fun with the Running of the Birds 5K Run and Waddle on March 20 in Point Breeze, New York, part of a spring migration celebration. According to the Daily News Online, participants are encouraged to dress up in bird costumes and prizes will be awarded not only for the runners, but also for the best costume. Registration is $10 until March 13 and $15 up to the morning of the race. Proceeds will go to benefit the People for Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) of Orleans.

Whether this benefit race would be your first or your fiftieth, visit About.com Running and Jogging for tips on how to safely prepare for a great run.
