Taking place along the scenic dirt trails of the Santa Clara Reserve, the Dirty Hurty Half Marathon makes its annual running along with the Red Mountain 55K and 30K. Â Last years running saw 250 runners cross the finish line in all 3 races combined, with over 140 in the half marathon alone
This year’s race will feature a two looped course, that takes runners from Santa Clara, west onto multiple trails for a 7.7 mile loop, followed by a 5.4 mile stretch to the finish line in Ivins. The race course starts on Gate’s Lane Bridge and climbs up to the single track trails in the Santa Clara Reserve. Participants in the half marathon will begin on the 7.7 mile green loop, which will run clock-wise and feature the Rim Ramble, Rim Reaper, Rim Runner, Rim rock and BLM roads. After completing a little more than half of the race, they will make their way onto the 5.4 mile orange loop, featuring the Upper Graveyard, Lower Graveyard, Cholla, and Santa Clara/Ivins city roads to the finish line.
Participants will be bussed to the starting line for all events, and are asked to be at Unity Park in Ivins (finish line) no later than 5:30 AM for a bus departure at 5:45 AM. All 3 races will begin at 6:30 AM and runners will have 8.5 hours to complete their respective races with nutritional and medical support. Runners can still complete the race outside of this cutoff time, but do so at their own risk, without medical or nutritional aid stations.
