DIRTY TRAIL SERIES

MINNEHAHA 15K & 5K

Meet our Featured Athletes

Kevin & Kaitlin Hazlett (15k): We met on a cross country team 16 years ago and have been wandering around in the woods together ever since. We love the Dirty Trail Series because of the neat swag: as life-long runners we are already drowning in race t-shirts. 

Kaitlin's favorite WRR race: Dirty Snowflake 4 Hour. Love the format! It was so much fun that we decided to sign up as Dirty VIPs afterward. 

Kevin's favorite: Minnehaha/Leave No Trace. It's always cool to run at Manatoc again, the site of my first 5k at scout camp.

Dave & Linda Orr (5k): Our oldest of four kids started running cross country in 2014. The other kids soon followed. Around 2018, we started running the trails around Ledges and Pine Hollow while they practiced.

Our first half marathon was in 2019. Our first marathon was January 2021. We completed our first 50k and first 50M this summer. Western Reserve races are the best – you go out and fall down in the mud and make friends!

You'll find us out on the Towpath or on the trails from Wetmore to Boston Run with our pitbulls all the time. Linda's favorite race is Burning River. Dave's favorite race is Bigfoot.

LODGING AT Burr Oak

Plan your Bobcat run-cation!

Run or hike our wildest, most remote race and enjoy a relaxing weekend at Burr Oak Lodge. Stunning views, a wood-burning fireplace, and cozy nooks for reading or board games await you. Book your Bobcat run-cation early – accommodations in the area fill quickly and the lodge typically sells out. Call the reservation line at 740-767-2112 and ask for the Bobcat race discount.

RUN OR HIKE
