Dark & Dirty : event description

Dark & Dirty is a night trail run held on the trails of Batawa Ski Hill in Batawa, Ontario. The event offers two distances:

Trails are well marked and feature mixed technical terrain including rocks, roots, stumps and hills. The race takes place after sunset; headlamps, flashlights or waist lamps are mandatory. For safety, headphones are not allowed.

Aid stations will provide water and Tailwind. For 14 km participants there is a halfway station with watermelon, chips and freezies. The event is cupless so participants should bring their own water bottles.
