Dirty German Endurance Fest

Dirty German Endurance Fest is held on May 8, 2027, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Three trail races share the morning: the 50-miler (80.5 km) sets off at 7:30 a.m., the 50K (31.1 mi) at 8:00 a.m. and the 25K (15.5 mi) at 8:30 a.m. Elevation gain is not listed for any of the courses.

With the three distances starting within an hour of each other, the field spreads out quickly and you will spend most of your race running alone: rehearse your own fuelling and pacing in training rather than counting on a pack to carry you. A 7:30 a.m. start in May also means the second half falls in the warmest hours, so practise drinking on the move and decide what you will pick up at each aid station before race day.
