Dirt Circus - Nashville

Dirt Circus - Nashville is a free community event held at the Vaughn's Creek Cross Country Course at Warner Parks. Organized by UltraSignup, the festival is designed to celebrate the local trail running community, race directors, and regional businesses. The event follows the US Trail Running Conference and serves as a gathering for runners, coaches, and brand partners.

The schedule features a social group run on a marked course. Participants can choose the distance they wish to complete by running one or more laps of a 2.2 mile loop. Runners have the option to complete:

  • 2.2 miles (1 loop)
  • 4.4 miles (2 loops)
  • 6.6 miles (3 loops)

The event is cupless, requiring attendees to bring their own bottles or cups for water and electrolyte refills. The festival grounds include an expo area with booths from race companies, running stores, and nutrition brands. Attendees can participate in a raffle featuring race entries and apparel, and a face decorating station is available for participants.

Registration includes a branded shoe bag for check-ins while supplies last. Commemorative event t-shirts with a Nashville-specific design are available through preorder during the registration process. Please note that dogs are not permitted at the event, with the exception of service animals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
