About the race
Dirty Dash takes place on May 8, 2027 at the Shelterhouse Picnic Area in South Chagrin Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metroparks near Bentleyville, Ohio. The event offers two trail distances.
- 10K (hikers welcome)
- Half marathon (13.1 miles)
Both distances follow trails that wind through lush forests and rolling terrain. The route passes the Sulphur Springs Loop, where runners encounter the sounds of Sulphur Springs and views of small waterfalls. Course surfaces include wooded single-track and creek-side paths, with moderate elevation change.
The location is described as tucked away and quiet, providing a traditional trail-running environment. Registration opens December 1, 2026. Registration closes April 27, 2027 for the 10K and April 7, 2027 for the half marathon. Entry fees are listed as $40.00 for the 10K and $70.00 for the half marathon.
