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 course starts out through a heavily wooded forest as runners leave the main event site. Runners will follow the trails down to the main park of Governors Bridge Natural Area and see the park open up with lakes. Runners will also pass by the Patuxent River.
Mile 2 – Runners loop through flat wooded trails around ponds before hitting the main park road. The 10k course will split off briefly before connecting back together for a short period.
Mile 3 – Runners head back into the woods weaving up and down hills before entering the main event site. The biggest elevation change will be in the final mile heading back to the main event site.
