About this race
Race Overview
We had to make a few changes and cancel the mountain bike race in the 2026 Dirty Fox. It's a little disappointing for now, but some very cool things are happening. It'll be worth the wait!
We have 25 spaces available for the 2026 Dirty Fox Five!
Grab your gear and get ready for five hours of type 2 fun on the technical trails of Franke Park. As a trail runner, mountain bike rider or wheelchair athlete, you'll complete as many laps as you can in the five hour time limit.
