5 Mile Course – Runners and Walkers
We have a separate Five Mile Walking Course and Youth Relay Run Around Derby Pond. It In 2009 we started a separate Five Mile Walking Course and Youth Relay Run Around Derby Pond. Two years ago a group of “lazy” half marathoners, decided after the start of the race that they just didn’t feel like “running the hills” for the full half. They chose instead to chase the walkers and youth runners who were making their way “Around the Pond.” And so the Five Mile Adult Run was established by popular demand. This year we are cutting the price for this option to $25 for adult runners. ($20 for Seniors and Walkers and $10 for youth)
The course is pretty enough, a few dandelion fields, a lot less hilly, and much more manageable for the more casual runner.
It is also a wonderful spring walk for those walkers who want to participate. And the relay stations set up for younger runners can be used by runners and walkers alike. The Run/Walk Around the Pond will start at 9:10 am
