Description
2024 Dirt Days Trail Series Update:
We have re-instituted an all-inclusive season pass. Read about it below. It is now live for signups.
Q - What is The Dirt Days Trail Series?
A - The Dirt Days Trail Series consists of Eight Dates and Ten events. There is one event per month beginning in March and ending in October.
Events will include trail runs of varying distances from about 2 to 11 miles, including a night run. Each event is unique and there is plenty of variety to appeal to runners and walkers of all abilities.
Depending on the event, you may encounter heavily forested areas, open fields, hills, creek crossings, dirt, mud, etc.
Pick and choose your events and sign up for each one separately. You can also purchase a season pass!
The Dirt Days Trail Series is brought to you by Running Time Race Services.
We are pleased to announce the Fleet Feet Sports is once again teaming up with us to present this classic series.

SEASON PASS
We are offering an all-inclusive season pass to all of the 2023 Dirt Days Trail Series events.
If you are planning to attend all or most of the events, this may be for you. You will save time by only signing up one time. The total price is discounted so can save money as well. In addition, a one-time transaction fee will be less than signing up for events one at a time.
The package includes entry fee to all eight events and also included is a 2023 Trail Series shirt. Price for 2023 is $150.
We are only offering this package through the Ault Park race since it does not make sense after that time.

If you are planning to participate in at least six events, this may be perfect for you. Do the math. It it works for you, great!
