Derby Dash 5K

The Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk 2012 took place on May 19th at Derbyshire. The event had over 160 attendees, and $2000 was donated to Go Girls and the Foothills Humane Society. Also, a sweet puppy from Foothills found its new home with two of the Derby Dash 5K runners. We are looking forward to continuing to grow our race, and we hope that you will join us to Run, Walk, or Eat next year!

The Derby Dash 5K and Fun Walk is a charity event which benefits the Foothills Humane Society in Columbus, NC and Go Girls, a running club for 4th and 5th grade girls at Polk Central Elementary, in Mill Spring, NC. It takes place at Derbyshire, a lakeside residential community located in Columbus, NC. Participants in the 5K are able to enjoy the lake and mountain views and the Derbyshire community trails, as this is a cross country race. The day also includes a fun walk and a full breakfast for all participants after the race. Additional breakfast tickets may be purchased for friends and family. The event is held each May, with the date being announced approximately six months prior.
