Dirt Circus - Los Angeles
The Dirt Circus is a free community festival traveling to Los Angeles for the first time. Organized as a celebration of the local trail running community, the event brings together runners, race directors, and local businesses. The festival is hosted at a running shop in Chino Hills and serves as an in-person gathering to highlight regional races and running clubs.
The event features a community social run with two distance options:
- 5 km
- 10 km
Participants gather for a group run that starts on city streets and transitions to nearby urban dirt trails. To accommodate different running paces and manage trail volume, the larger group is divided into smaller sections. The event is cupless, requiring participants to bring their own bottles or cups for water refills.
Following the run, the festival continues with an expo featuring various booths and tables. Attendees can interact with race directors to learn about upcoming events or meet with coaches, nutritionists, and representatives from running brands. The schedule includes a raffle with prizes such as race entries, running gear, and apparel. Food and beverages are provided during the post-run festivities. While service animals are permitted, personal pets are not allowed at the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
