8th Annual Norman Bird Sanctuary 5k in honor of David Leys Jr.

Norman Bird Sanctuary, Community Contributor

The Norman Bird Sanctuary 5K has become a Father's Day weekend tradition for many, quickly becoming a favorite among runners & walkers alike, attracting participants from as far as California, Utah, Florida and Tennessee. USATF sanctioned, participants enjoy the scenic route past beautiful beaches and diverse landscapes.

In addition to being a fundraiser for the Norman Bird Sanctuary, the 5K honors David Leys Jr., diagnosed with ALS last year, a native islander who was a force behind the race from its inception, and a great supporter of NBS. Runners are given the opportunity to donate to the RI Chapter of the ALS Foundation in Dave's name.
