The 35th annual Snowflake Derby has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday, January 12, on the campus of the University of Southern Indiana, and features two races this year.
Entry fees for pre-registered runners are $15 for one race or $20 for both races, while race-day registration will be $20 for one race or $25 for both races. Race-day registration and packet pickup will run from 9:30 to 11:45 a.m. at the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center (RFWC).
All pre-registered entries must be received before January 7 and pre-registered runners will receive a Snowflake Derby fleece running cap on race day.

Food and drink will be available following the race in the RFWC.
This year’s 8k course will be run entirely off road and consists of dirt, grass, and crushed stone trails. Challenges include hills, hay bales, log jumps, creek crossings, and whatever else Mother Nature has in store.
