Pasta Lunch:
There will be spaghetti plates at the Derby Community
Building. It will come with a salad, drink, cake, banana
pudding, and pies. The "church ladies" from Jones Springs
Church provide the meal. There will also be a non-meat
sauce for vegetarians/vegans. It has been quoted that the homemade
cakes and banana pudding, are worth running 31 miles. The
money goes to the Derby community needs, church, fire dept.
etc.
The pasta lunch is also open to the general public for $6.50
a plate. The meal is free to runners. Your race number is
your ticket for food.
Please, no alcohol on the premises.
Course:
The course will start and
finish in front of the Derby Community Building and it will
be run in a counter-clockwise direction facing traffic. It's 31.5
miles on 3 loops of rolling hills in a beautiful country
setting on asphalt and dirt. It's a great event for those
wanting to do their first ultra run. There is no cut off.
This is a 31.5-mile fun run with no bells & whistles. The
course is not closed to traffic. Derby Road is in the middle
of nowhere but travelers use it to get somewhere. SO,
IN ADDITION TO EXERCISING YOUR BODY PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION! This is a very low key, no frills race. If
you are expecting port-a-potties, expos or to be waited on,
I suggest you stay home.
