Course:
We have a new course for 2009. 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 and; whistles. The course is not closed to traffic. Derby Road is in the middle of nowhere but travelers use it to get somewhere. PLEASE RUN CAREFULLY! 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.

Aid Stations:
There will be 3 aid stations with energy drink and; water, chips, cookies, etc......
You will pass each aid station 3 times. However, in an effort to minimize trash, you may still want to bring a water bottle belt with you. The people at the aid stations give up their day and time just for you, please be nice to them.

Awards:
Authentic Derby hats to the 1st male and 1st female overall. All finishers will receive a custom finisher’s medal.
Awards presented as you finish. Also, there will be other special awards such as the, "Do or Die Award" for the last finisher.
