Prairie Farms to support runners in Kentucky Derby Festival MiniMarathon and Marathon
The cooperative’s chocolate milk was named official refuel partner for festival races.
Prairie Farms Dairy Inc., an Edwardsville, Ill.-based dairy cooperative, said it partnered with the Humana Kentucky Derby Festival MiniMarathon and Marathon to be the chocolate milk refueling partner for the race.
“Scientific studies have concluded that chocolate milk makes for an excellent recovery drink following strenuous exercise,” said Dante Carpenter, a Prairie Farms dairy farmer based out of Russell Springs, Ky. “I’m delighted that chocolate milk sourced from local farms right here in Kentucky will be fueling the runners.”
