Dirty Dog Trail 4 Miler
The Dirty Dog Trail 4 Miler is a trail running event on November 14, 2026 at Veterans Park in Lexington, Kentucky. The event includes an in-person 4 mile run/walk/hike and a virtual 4 mile option. The in-person registration fee is $25 (registration open 2026-05-01 to 2026-07-31). Virtual registration is $30 (registration open 2026-05-01 to 2026-11-13) and includes mailing of the commemorative long-sleeved race shirt.
The marked and measured course follows park trails and some paved sections around East Hickman Creek. Surface types include open grassy areas, mainly hard-packed dirt trails, and at least one dry rocky creek crossing. The course will be mapped to total 4.0 miles. There are at least two hydration stops located near mile markers 1 and 3.
The race will be chip timed and will present awards for the top three male and top three female overall finishers, plus five-year age-group awards. Race photos will be made available to registrants after the event. The event supports waterway conservation; the 2026 race beneficiary is WaterwaysLEX. Organizers also recruit about 5 to 7 volunteers for race-day roles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
