The Dirt Dash : Johns Island County Park
The Dirt Dash is a trail running event held at Johns Island County Park, 2662 Mullet Hall Road, Johns Island, SC. It is organized by Palmetto Ultras and presented by Billy Simons Real Estate and The Foot Store. The course is a roughly 3.3 mile loop combining wide open cross country type trails, single and double track, and short grassy sections.
Distances offered:
- Marathon - eight loops of the approximately 3.3 mile loop
- Half Marathon - four loops of the approximately 3.3 mile loop
- 10K - two loops of the approximately 3.3 mile loop
- 5K - one loop of the approximately 3.3 mile loop
There is one fully stocked aid station at the start/finish area. The event is cupless so participants must bring a cup, bottle, or hydration bladder. Runners may leave supplies in a designated drop bag area near the aid station; the organizers are not responsible for lost or stolen items. Due to insurance policy, dogs are not allowed on the course during the race.
Packet pickup is available the day before at THE FOOT STORE in Mount Pleasant and on race morning at the Palmetto Ultras tent. Camping by tent or RV is available on site the night before and the park includes bathrooms and showers. Registrations completed by August 19 receive a race t shirt. There is a seven hour cutoff for each distance. The event proceeds rain or shine unless the park authority deems conditions unsafe. No refunds are issued; transfers and deferrals are available under the stated policies. Volunteer hours can be exchanged for race entry discounts.
