About this race
Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026
Robinette's Apple Haus & Winery
The Dirty Duel is the only trail race in the United States that offers racers a choice of courses. Join 600 racers (in many waves to spread you out) who will split off right after the start in a dueling dash back to the finish. Will it be the “easier” 3.4 mile course that speeds runners to a top finish or the shorter but brutal 3.1 (5K) trail (and off-trail) that racers survive on their way to victory? Depending on the course chosen, you will face a sand dune, cornfield/maze, and off-trail sections! Buff or wood medal to all finishers. Cider and donuts after the race. Shirt purchase is optional.
Go to www.dirtyduel.com to get the race details. We will email one or more Race Updates roughly 1-2 weeks before the race.
