About Dirty Dog Trail 4 Miler

Join us for one of Lexington's only true trail races on the beautiful Veterans Park trails to help keep our watershed clean & green!

 

The 11th Annual Dirty Dog Trail 4 Miler will take place on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 9:00am at Veterans Park in South Lexington.  

The 4-mile course will traverse portions of the park, trails, and some pathways along/around the scenic East Hickman Creek. The race will be chip timed, and awards will be presented for top 3 M/F Overall and Age Groups (5-year divisions).  Commemorative long-sleeved T-shirts will be provided to all registrants.  Runners & walkers of all experience levels are welcomed.  Free race photos provided by Ruby Cline-Eaton!

We've added a Virtual Runner/Walker opportunity for the Dirty Dog.  If you live out of the area or will be out of town during our race, you can still participate and make a donation to the Hickman Creek Conservancy.  Register as a virtual for $30, and we'll mail your commemorative race shirt.  You can then run/walk/hike your own "Dirty Dog" on your own schedule in your own hometown (optional of course).

PACKET PICKUP:     Our packet pickup will be held on race morning from 7:30-8:45am at Veterans Park.

RACE PHOTOS:      Ruby Cline-Eaton will be taking photos which will be made available to all runners in an email following the race.

The course will be officially measured and marked for your safety and direction.  The course will have some open grassy areas and cross at least one dry rocky creek, as well as consist of mainly hard packed dirt trail areas.  There will be at least 2 hydration stops along the course (Mile Marker 1 and 3) where water will be served.

RACE BENEFICIARY   Our 2025 race beneficiary will again be the Hickman Creek Conservancy who works to keep our watershed clean and green.  Read more below and consider a donation to help them achieve their mission.

Questions about the race can be directed to Bob Baney, Race Director at BobBaney12@gmail.com
