    This event is for an all-inclusive season pass to all Eight of the 2026 Dirt Days Trail Series events.

    If you are planning to attend all or most of the events, this may be for you. You will save time by only signing up one time. The total price is discounted so can save money as well. In addition, a one-time transaction fee will be less than signing up for events one at a time.

    The package includes entry fee to all eight events and also included is a 2026 Trail Series Tech Shirt. Price for 2026 is $150.

    We are only offering this package through the Ault Park race since it does not make sense after that time.

    The deadline to sign up for the bundle is Thursday, April, 16, 2026.

    If you are planning to participate in at least six events, this may be perfect for you. Do the math. It it works for you, great!

    Note: The Run for the Green and the Powder Keg offer their own race-specific shirts. These shirts are not included in the package price but you will have the opportunity to purchase them if you wish.

    IMPORTANT: Also, when signing up, only choose a series shirt one time (Except for the Run for the Green and the Powder Keg as mentioned above) with the season pass event unless you wish to purchase additional shirts.

    Registrations are not transferrable!

    Strides for Safety is a family-friendly, timed 5K at Winton Woods organized by Jane Holbrook, a high school junior living with severe food allergies. The event benefits food allergy awareness and advocacy.

    More than 1 in 13 children and 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. have a food allergy—over 33 million people. A food-allergic reaction sends someone to the emergency room every three minutes. Funds raised through this event support the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Connection Team (FAACT), an organization dedicated to education and advocacy, while supporting families in Cincinnati and across the country living with life-threatening food allergies.

    The 3.1-mile course at Winton Woods Park features a scenic lake, wooded trails, and beautiful spring views. The event is open to runners and walkers of all ages and abilities—families, kids, and first-time 5K participants are welcome.

    Thanks to our generous sponsors, the post-race celebration includes music, raffle baskets, and allergy-friendly items. Awards will be given to the top three finishers, along with a special award for the Most Spirited Food Allergy Family.

    Join us as we turn strides into safety—every step helps protect children and families affected by food allergies!

    Dirt Days Trail Series - Mt. Airy Ridge Run

    Sunday, May 17, 2026 8:30 am

    Mt. Airy Forest, Cincinnati, OH

    UPDATE: THE START TIME FOR BOTH DISTANCES IS 8:30 AM. TREKKERS WILL STILL GO OFF AT 8:00

    Mt. Airy Ridge Run is a perennial favorite. This is the largest park in the city and features extensive trails.

    Mt. Airy Forest is, in fact, is one of the larger parks located within a city's limits in the country. Even Central Park can only boast 843 acres, while Mt. Airy holds a massive 1,469.9 acres. The Mt. Airy Forest Ridge Run is aptly named, as the runners will get a wilderness experience that mirrors the Sierras at times. The course winds through all of the features Mt. Airy has to offer, such as its lush evergreens, dense hardwoods, open meadows, flowing rivers, and of course, hill climbs and ridge traverses.

    The Mt. Airy Forest Ridge Run will have TWO separate races over different distances. There will be a two lap race (10.6) miles that will begin at 8:30 a.m. There will also be a one lap race (5.4 miles) that will start at 8:30 a.m. We will begin sweeping the course at 9:45 am so you need to be finished with one lap by then. If you are doing the one-lap event, you do not need to worry about this.

    This is the Third leg of the Dirt Days Trail Series. Each event will be scored separately and both events will count toward the Series points.

    Mt. Airy Ridge Run Update: We have added a "Trekker" category for those who would like to do the 10+ mile course but need extra time to finish. If you think that you need more than 2-2.5 hours to finish, we encourage you to consider the this option. You can start at 8:00 instead of 8:30. You will receive a time and credit for participation. Also, you can finish before all the food is gone!

    New for 2026: We have added a Trekker category for the 5.4 event as well.
