• "Dirty Duo is like no other race in North Vancouver. It really brings together the mountain bike and running community. Which is perfect because we share the trails throughout the year anyway. Based on the flawlessness of the day, it's clear you've found the world's best volunteers, from those freezing atop Ned's to those dodging traffic with a stop sign. At every aid station and check point, volunteers were cheering, helpful, and most importantly, smiling. Thank you so so much to the entire Dirty Duo Crew. A world class event." TC

Check out our race categories to get a better idea of the different ways that the Dirty Duo can challenge you.

Can I Do It?

• Have built up a solid base on trails,
• Can run for 3-4 hours (25 km race) or for 6-8 hours (50 km race) by race day,
• Have experience with trail races and recognize that they take longer than road races,
• Want an early race to kick start your year,
• Have previewed Bridle Path and Ned's Atomic Dust Bin (oh yeah) on your mountain bike. Ned's is rather technical.
