DIRT MONSTER TRAIL FEST 2026

About the Event

Dirt Monster Trail Race
Something is waiting in the woods…

Deep in the hills, where the trails twist through the forest and every climb tests your grit, the Dirt Monster awakens.

This isn’t your typical trail race. It’s rugged. It’s unpredictable. It’s the kind of course that rewards determination over comfort and leaves every finisher with a story worth telling.

Expect beautiful scenery, challenging terrain, and a race-day atmosphere unlike anything else. There may even be a few surprises lurking along the course… but you’ll have to experience those for yourself.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, conquering your first trail race, or simply looking for an unforgettable adventure, the Dirt Monster is calling.

The only question is…

Do you have what it takes to face the Monster?
