Dirty Secret Trail Run

Cool, United States • 10 May 2025

The Dirty Secret Trail Run, held in Cool, California, offers two scenic trail race options: a 10.3-mile long course and a 5.8-mile short course. Starting at Northside Elementary School, the course features challenging terrain with rolling hills, stream crossings, and single-track trails. Notable highlights include the Knickerbocker Creek crossing and "Baby Head Alley," a rocky downhill section named for its distinctive stones. The race caters to both first-time trail runners and experienced athletes seeking endurance challenges, with natural obstacles like rocks, roots, and low branches. Participants enjoy a supportive atmosphere, race swag, and a post-race strawberry pancake breakfast. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
