About the Dirtie Birdie Trail Run
The Dirtie Birdie takes place at Lake Thunderbird State Park, where the trails run through wooded terrain with enough grit to justify the name. Several distance options mean you can pick how hard you want to push, whether this is your first time on dirt or you have been doing this for years.
The race leans into its personality past the finish line, with prize money, a photo setup, and merchandise on offer. The vibe is more trail festival than quick in-and-out, so plan to stick around after you finish running.
