Dirt Run Irchester Country Park - Round 2

Brigstock, United Kingdom • 21 Feb 2027

Dirt Run Winter Trail Series

The Dirt Run Winter Trail Series is a two-race trail running series in Northamptonshire, held across two country parks in January and February 2027. The events use multi-terrain routes with trails, climbs and muddy sections, and offer several standard distances across the two rounds.

Round 1 takes place at Irchester Country Park and is presented in an uphill format that runs in the opposite direction to 2025. The course passes through a Jurassic landscape and 10K and 15K runners follow an additional trail section on later laps. All runners in Round 1 start together. It is possible to switch distance on the day; upgrades require cash payment.

Round 2 is at Brigstock Country Park and includes an out-and-back loop plus an extended route that passes Lyveden New Bield, an Elizabethan lodge on the route.
