Dirty Dash Half Marathon
The Dirty Dash takes place at the Shelterhouse Picnic Area in South Chagrin Reservation, part of the Cleveland Metroparks in Bentleyville, Ohio. It is presented as a new venue in the Dirty Trail Series and offers two trail race distances.
The course runs through lush forests and rolling terrain and includes the Sulphur Springs Loop. Runners encounter wooded single-track, creek-side paths, and small waterfalls near Sulphur Springs. The route features some elevation change and a secluded, quiet setting that emphasizes a trail-running environment.
Event logistics listed for each distance:
- 10K (hikers welcome)
- Half marathon (13.1 miles)
Registration details are provided for both events. Registration opens 12/1/2026. The 10K registration closes 4/27/2027 with a registration fee of $45.00. The half marathon registration closes 4/7/2027 with a registration fee of $70.00.
