#DirtyDash
Online Registration has closed, but you can still register on Saturday and Sunday at the times and locations listed below under 'Registration Options'.
It's just like any other trail race through the trails and rivers of Bechtel Park. Except, at the end of the race is a 70 foot mud pit! It's not a course to set a 3 KM or 6 KM personal best, but it will be your most fun trail race of the year!
Check here for the dirty finish line pictures from last year's race!
