Dirt Days Trail Series - French Park Creek Crossings

This trail event takes place at French Park in Cincinnati, OH. The course is approximately 3.6 miles and begins at the top of a hill, descends into a meadow and tall grass, runs the park perimeter, then moves into the park interior before returning to the shelter and meadow where it started. The route follows a creek and crosses it several times; crossings may be negotiated via stepping stones, log bridges, or by running directly through the water. Distance is approximate and subject to change.

The event is the fourth leg of the Dirt Days Trail Series and occurs on Father’s Day in 2026. Timing will use MyLaps disposable bib tags with the chip attached to the race bib; no chip returns are required. Individual event awards include age graded awards and a random drawing for a free pair of Altra shoes at each event with no duplicates within a season. Random door prizes are also drawn and require presence to win.

Series shirts are available for order with registration for $20 or can be purchased at the Fleet Feet tent on race day. The stated pre registration fee per race is $23.50 via online registration only; children 14 and under receive a $5 discount. There is no early packet pick up for this event. A season pass option covers all eight series events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
