Each year we gather and offer a challenging Half Marathon Run (with less challenging 10 k, 4 mile, 2 mile and 1 mile options) on dirt roads through the now world-famous Dandelion Fields of Morgan, Holland, and Derby. We celebrate the coming of High Spring in the Kingdom, honor the short life of Terri Weed, and support Umbrella. It’s May! It’s time to Run! Just for the Fun of it.
ALL NEW DANDY MARATHON BIKE MAP
We gather on Saturday morning at the Derby Beach House, 220 4H Road, Derby, VT 05829. Start time: 9:00 am. We offer pre-made sandwiches, chips, and water or Gatorade for lunch after the run. Musicians will be sprinkled throughout the course and back at the Beach House. Online registration closes on May 14, 2025. We will allow “walk on” registrations on the day of the race. We unleash our marathon bikers 5 minutes before our runners and walkers.
