Organiser's Description

Dirt Days Trail Series - East Fork SP Trail Run
Sunday, July 30, 2023 8:30 am 
East Fork State Park, Bethel, OH
The East Fork SP Trail Run is where the Dirt Days Trail Series all began. As the name states, the race will take place on the well-established Backpack Trail, at East Fork Lake State Park. The 5.6 mile course is densely wooded, and might give runners the feeling that they are on the Appalachian Trail. The course reverses direction each year. Note: Previously, this race was called the Backpack Trail Run but there was some confusion as to whether you had to wear a backpack for the race. 
All registration will be done online including on race day.
