What if your next race could power global conservation?

Running for Raptors connects passionate runners with The Peregrine Fund’s mission to protect birds of prey around the world. Every mile you log helps fuel science, education, and conservation action.

Why We Run

Since 2021, our teams of runners have taken on the TCS New York City Marathon in support of raptor conservation—raising critical funds and inspiring new supporters along the way.

Running for Raptors builds on that success. We’re expanding into select races that match our spirit of perseverance, excellence, and impact.

Why We Run

Each race is more than a finish line. It’s a chance to:

  • Protect birds of prey worldwide
  • Turn personal goals into conservation wins
  • Inspire friends and family to support a cause that matters
  • Join a growing community of raptor ambassadors
