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.
