Flirt with Dirt 10k & Half Marathon

The Flirt with Dirt event takes place at the Meadows Picnic Area within the Brecksville Reservation in Brecksville, Ohio. This trail race is part of the Dirty Trail Series and utilizes the hiking and bridle trails of the reservation. The course is designed to be accessible for participants of various paces, and the event specifically welcomes hikers to participate in the shorter distance.

Participants can choose between two primary trail distances:

  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon

The 10 km event has a 2 hour cutoff time, while the Half Marathon has a 5 hour cutoff. The race supports local conservation efforts, as donations made during the event benefit the Trails Division of Cleveland Metroparks.

Registered participants receive a finisher medal and a choice of swag, which may include items such as a tri-blend tee, a crossbody bag, a water bottle, or a travel mug. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers.
