Down & Dirty 5 Mile and 10 Mile
Down & Dirty is a trail race held at Oak Hill in Cuyahoga Valley National Park on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The event offers two distances and is part of the Dirty Trail Series. Hikers are welcome.
- 5 Mile trail race
- 10 Mile trail race
The course begins with a fast descent into the valley, followed by a long uphill section, then continues over twisting, rooted trails to the finish. The location is noted for its diversity of terrain.
Registered participants receive a finisher medal plus one swag item: a triblend tee, a travel mug, or a CVNP water bottle. Dirty Trail Series VIP membership bundles are available and include race discounts, shoe discounts at a specific retailer, multiple swag options or a no-swag discount option, and an invitation to the series awards party.
Donations collected for the event benefit the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and to the top three male and female finishers in five-year age groups from 14 and Under through 70 and Over.
A participant guide is noted as coming soon. The event is one of several Dirty Trail Series races that range in distance and use hiking and bridle trails in Northeast Ohio. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
