Hurt the Dirt Trail Races

Hurt the Dirt Trail Races take place in Rockford, Michigan, in late April, on singletrack in Luton Park, which is considered one of the best trail networks in Michigan. The event welcomes both competitive runners and recreational ones and puts the focus on the joy of trail running through Michigan's natural landscapes. It highlights the park's fast, flowing trails. Three distances are offered: a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a quarter marathon (6.5 miles). Smooth singletrack rewards a steady rhythm and quick feet, so practice short strides and light steps over roots before race day.
