🏞️ Dirt Days Trail Series - Mt. Airy Ridge Run

📅 Sunday, May 18, 2025 8:30 am

📍 Mt. Airy Forest, Cincinnati, OH

🕒 UPDATE: THE START TIME FOR BOTH DISTANCES IS 8:30 AM. TREKKERS WILL STILL GO OFF AT 8:00

Race Description:

  • Favorite: Mt. Airy Ridge Run is a perennial favorite. This is the largest park in the city and features extensive trails.
  • Size: Mt. Airy Forest is, in fact, one of the larger parks located within a city's limits in the country. Even Central Park can only boast 843 acres, while Mt. Airy holds a massive 1,469.9 acres.
  • Experience: The Mt. Airy Forest Ridge Run is aptly named, as the runners will get a wilderness experience that mirrors the Sierras at times.
  • Trail Features: The course winds through all of the features Mt. Airy has to offer, such as its lush evergreens, dense hardwoods, open meadows, flowing rivers, and of course, hill climbs and ridge traverses.

Race Details:

  • Distances: The Mt. Airy Forest Ridge Run will have TWO separate races over different distances. There will be a two lap race (10.6 miles) that will begin at 8:30 a.m. There will also be a one lap race (5.4 miles) that will start at 8:30 a.m.
  • Course Sweep: We will begin sweeping the course at 9:45 am so you need to be finished with one lap by then.
  • Series Points: This is the Third leg of the Dirt Days Trail Series. Each event will be scored separately and both events will count toward the Series points.
  • Trekker Option: We have added a "Trekker" category for those who would like to do the 10+ mile course but need extra time to finish.
