The Merrell Down & Dirty Obstacle Race presented by Subaru is an obstacle-climbing, trail-blasting race that will push you to your limits. Two courses, 20+ obstacles, one true challenge.
3 Mile Course Description
Mile 1 – The entire course is fast and flat and the first mile is no exception! Runners race on dirt and limestone tails that wind around the perimeter of Zoo Miami and the surrounding forests.
Mile 2 – Mile two continues on the perimeter trail. On the runners left is a moat and on the right are thick woods. The trail opens into a field of avocado trees and runners make their way past an old barn as they turn around and head towards the finish.
Mile 3 – Runners make their way through the inner zoo trails and finish with a straight away sprint before emerging from the trees and getting into the mud!

Mile 4 – Mile 4 takes runners through a brief section of trails in Larry and Penny Thompson Park and then around the beautiful lake situated outside of the animal enclosures at Zoo Miami. Keep an eye out for animals!
Mile 5 – As runners make their way around the lake, they will have to opportunity to witness the exotic wildlife of the Zoo off to the left side.
Mile 6 – The 10K course joins the 5K course just past the open field and finishes with a straight away sprint before emerging from the trees and getting into the mud!
