Did You Know?
On December 31, 2010, thousands of red-winged blackbirds mysteriously fell from the skies of our small town. The bizarre event made national headlines and happened again in 2011 on a smaller scale. Although the event was unfortunate and uncontrollable, it was an occurrence that created quite the buzz in Beebe!

Race Details
Please join the Beebe Chamber of Commerce for our 7th Annual Fallin' Blackbird 5k Fundraiser! The proceeds from this event are used to fund community events throughout the year as well as scholarships for Beebe students.

This fun and exciting 5k is our favorite way to kick off the entire Fallin' Blackbird Festival!! We encourage you to be creative with thematic race attire and fully enjoy the day! The Fallin' Blackbird 5k will be professionally timed by MacDonald Timing. Each participant that completes the race will receive a race t-shirt and medal! Additionally, we will have placement medals for several age categories. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!
