Event
The Dirt Days Trail Series - Ault Park Switchback takes place on April 19, 2026 in Ault Park, Cincinnati, OH (3600 Observatory Avenue, 45208). The event is one date in the Dirt Days Trail Series, a series that includes eight dates and ten events across the Greater Cincinnati area. Individual registration for this trail run is listed at $23.50, with a reduced price of $18.50 for ages 0-14. A season pass covering all eight series events is offered at $150 and includes a series tech shirt; the season pass availability is limited through the second event.
Course and logistics
The course is approximately 3.6 miles and begins with a short loop near the pavilion before entering the woods. The route is a rolling trail that passes by an old railroad trestle and follows part of an old pioneer road. The course returns to the pavilion area and finishes at the soccer field. The race uses MyLaps disposable bib tags for chip timing; the chip is on the bib and does not need to be returned. Registration includes a bib number, timing chip, well-marked course, a fluid station, and refreshments. Age-graded awards will be given and there will be a random prize drawing; winners must be present to receive some prizes. Dirt Days tech shirts are available for purchase for $20 at registration or at the Fleet Feet tent. Check-in on race day is available at the venue; there is no early packet pick up.
