Event Overview
The Scott Sports Dirty Dozen Adventure Trail Run is a 12km single-lap, off-road trail run held at Cannock Chase. It will be the 13th edition of this event. The course is 100% off-road, featuring winding forest paths, stone tracks, muddy singletrack, and an area known as the "Ditch of Doom," for which a dry bypass route exists.
