The Great Distance Derby is an evolution of the Distance Derby (DD) & Michigan Distance Derby (MDD).
Due to the success of the DD & MDD, founders from both Derbies agreed to expand now adding statewide, regional & international competition in addition to individual team competition.
Wherever you live, you are welcome to join The Great Distance Derby, a virtual & personal game with Horsewomen/men across the globe who share a common commitment to miles & smiles with their equine(s).
Whether you are interested in simply tracking your miles for competition or pleasure, connecting with & competing with your local neighbors & trail groups, enjoying the motivation of watching your miles add up, seeing where you might rank among other horseman in your state, region or country or participating in the rare opportunity to see the local & global perspective from saddle, The Great Distance Derby Welcomes You!
A Team consists of 1 Horsewoman/man & their Horse(s). Each team tracks their mileage using a GPS Application on their smart phone or through a separate device. They then record their mileage by entering into an online form the Derby provides. That mileage adds to their total mileage as a Team as well as to their total mileage as a State, Region & Country. Friendly competition is meant to inspire riders/drivers to spend more time in the saddle or cart with their equine(s).
