What is the DIRTY DUO?
Being mountain bikers and trail runners, we want to share what living and playing on the rugged North Shore trails is all about!! This scenic trail race will challenge beginners as well as extreme athletes. Here are the five options:
- Run 25 km,
- Run 15 km (NEW in 2007),
- Run 50 km ultra (first of the Montrail Ultrarunning Series),
- Do a relay; one runs and the other rides,
- Do it all! Go solo and do both the 25 km run and 30 km bike,
- Mountain bike 30 km only.
Note: You do not need to run and bike; you can choose one event!
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?
Yes! You can do it, if you:
- 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.
Testimonials
"It was great to see a slickly run event, with everything on time, good signage, plenty of marshals and food and water on the course. The event had a great down-to-earth local feel to it, which is refreshing compared to other popular events which just get too big and lose character. Thanks to you and your huge team of volunteers for a great day."
