2nd Saturday in April, Arcadia, CA, 7:45 AM Start.

App and info: Call 760-434-7706, or click on Derby Days above. You can also register at the Run With Us Store, 235 N Lake Ave in Pasadena.

This is an annual club race so wear your Foothill Flyers clothing.

The course starts in the south parking lot of the Santa Anita Race Track parking lot and ends with the last quarter mile on the actual race track. It is listed as fast and flat, but we local runners know that Baldwin goes up hill from Huntington Drive so dont expect a Personal Best. There are a number of turns and the peacocks and ducks have the right of way in the Arboretum. It might be better to think of this as a fun day with the club. See the course map shown.

There are a number of activities on the Infield when you finish, but it might be best to go back to your car to change first. If you do, make sure you get your hand stamped at the gate and to bring your bib number back with you.

Your race bib will get you 2 free beers at the beer garden - if you dont normally have beer for breakfast, give your bib to a club member who does. There are many running expo booths, food samples, massages, live band, microbrew Festival and in the past, a classic Rolls Royce exhibit. You also get free parking if you arrive before 8 AM and entire day race track entrance. The horse races start at noon and the actual Santa Anita Derby race at 2:45 PM. If you have never seen a horse race or wondered what the inside of the Santa Anita Race Track looked like, this is a great way to experience it with a large group of runners.
