Each spring, Kirby Medical Center sponsors the Kirby Derby – a 5K walk/run and 10K run for community members who want to get out and get active! Kirby Medical Center also hosts a training program and runner/walker forum to help runners prepare for the big day. The Kirby Derby is the second leg of the Triple Crown, a series of three races held in Monticello each year.
Last year’s event was the biggest yet with 1,242 participants, including hundreds of local children who joined in for a special Kids’ Race. Friends and family members cheered on the athletes for a good cause: Last year’s Kirby Derby raised money for the Wellness Trail, a public path near the hospital where patients and community members can stroll, bike and enjoy the outdoors.
Don’t forget to register – the Kirby Derby is just days away! And make sure to invite your loved ones to join. It’ll be a great day out for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you there!
