19th Annual Bird Dog Breakaway October 3, 2026

Event Overview

Welcome to the 18th Annual Bird Dog Breakaway. We are so glad you are here to Run the Race with us. The BDB consisted of a 5K run, a 2 mile walk, and several children’s runs, including an Adaptive Run/Walk for our CFNB kids! The Kidzone is back this year! It’s going to be Fun for People of all Ages. All proceeds from the BDB will assist in the continued operation of the Center for New Beginnings, which provides services to children and adolescents with special needs. Currently more than 60 children and families are served at the Center’s three locations, which offer ABA therapy to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities in the Waynesboro, Evans and Millen communities.

It is through participants like you that make our event a huge success each year. By helping with our biggest fundraiser, you have made a big difference in the lives of many families. One of our guiding principles is that we seek to create a “team approach” by serving as a bridge between families and service providers. Thank you for joining our team for this year’s race.
