Organiser's Description
The Scott Sports Dirty Dozen – 14th Edition A One-of-a-Kind Trail Running Experience
Now in its 14th year, The Scott Sports Dirty Dozen is unlike any other trail event in the area. Set in the stunning surroundings of Cannock Chase, this race delivers a true trail running experience. Rugged, wild, and guaranteed to test your legs and your spirit!
If you've run other events around here, prepare for something different. We use trails and tracks most runners never discover, and that’s what makes this race so special.

What’s the Dirty Dozen All About?
It’s simple: this is trail running at its best.
We’re lucky to call Cannock Chase our playground. A landscape filled with winding forest paths, stone tracks, challenging climbs, and the infamous “Ditch of Doom” (don’t worry, there’s a dry route around it... if you’re made of sugar).
No artificial obstacles. No walls to climb. No boring grass fields. Just real trails, real mud, and real adventure.
“Quite simply the best trail running event in the area. So much fun. I never even knew those trails existed!”
“Love this event! Challenging and fun terrain, the hills, the trails, and even a dip in the water. Perfect to let your hair down and just run!”
Expect a proper challenge, a great atmosphere, and a lot of fun.

Scott Sports – Scott have supported this event right from the very beginning, and we’re delighted to have them back with us again.
They love the event, we love their products, and this year they’ll once again be giving runners the chance to demo a pair of Scott Kinabalu trail shoes on the course.
The Kinabalu is one of our favourite trail shoes and a brilliant match for this event. You get loads of grip, a soft and cushioned midsole for comfort, and a secure fit that feels great when you’re tackling the twists, turns and singletrack.
Fancy trying a pair for yourself?
Details on how to reserve your demo shoes will be coming soon.
Spectator Friendly Course
The course is shaped in a figure of 8 around the arena, making it easy for friends and family to cheer you on at multiple points without walking far.
Please note: The Ditch of Doom is further out on the route and tricky to access without a bike.

Expect wet and cold conditions, it’s March after all!
Recommended kit:
-
- Trail shoes (essential for grip)
