Welcome to the inaugural Foster the Future 5K, hosted on behalf of Geauga County Job and Family Services. As a department of the Geauga County Board of Commissioners, we provide essential services to support children and families in our community, including raising awareness for the need for foster parents. GCJFS is currently seeking foster families for children of all ages, with the greatest need being for teens and sibling groups. All proceeds from today’s event directly support the care and well‑being of children in Geauga County custody.

Thank you for being here and making a difference.”

Event day registration and pack pick-up will begin at 8:00am with the 5K and 1 mile beginning at 9:00am.

    Dirty Dash is the newest race in the Dirty Trail Series, taking you to a brand-new venue at the Shelterhouse Picnic Area in South Chagrin Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks. Choose between a 10k (hikers welcome!) or a half marathon. The course winds through lush forests, rolling terrain, and around the Sulphur Springs Loop, where you are treated to the babbling sounds of Sulphur Springs and views of small waterfalls. Both distances feature wooded single-track, creek-side paths, and just enough elevation change to keep things interesting. The setting feels tucked away and quiet, offering a true trail-running experience.

    Whether you’re chasing a personal record or simply taking in the scenery, the course delivers a balanced mix of challenge and enjoyment. With its natural beauty and varied terrain, the Dirty Dash is a great option for trail veterans and first-timers alike. If you’re looking for a race that blends scenery, effort, and dirt underfoot, this one belongs on your calendar.
