Dirty Dash
Dirty Dash is a trail running event held at the Shelterhouse Picnic Area in South Chagrin Reservation, Bentleyville, OH. The event offers two distance options:
- 10k
- Half marathon
The courses run through lush forests and rolling terrain, including the Sulphur Springs Loop with creek-side paths, small waterfall views, and the sounds of Sulphur Springs. Both distances include wooded single-track sections and some elevation change, presenting a mixed-surface trail experience in a setting described as tucked away and quiet.
The event is part of the Dirty Trail Series and is organized by Dirty Dash and Western Reserve Racing. All participants receive a finisher medal and a choice of additional swag items, listed as a triblend tee or TBD. A Dirty Trail Series VIP membership bundle is available; listed benefits include 20% off every race in the 2027 Dirty Trail Series, 20% off one pair of shoes plus 10% off additional shoe purchases at Vertical Runner, multiple swag options per race, a no-swag discount option, and an invitation to the Dirty Series Awards Party that includes lunch and a raffle.
Western Reserve Racing organizes road and trail events across Northeast Ohio, ranging from 5K races to 100-mile endurance events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
