Dirty Dash

Saturday, June 4

9:00 A.M.

1370 Soldier Hollow Drive

Midway, UT 84049

The Dirty Dash is where a military boot camp meets your inner five-year-old’s fantasy and subsequently converts boy to man and then…man to swine.

You’ll need endurance to trudge up mountains of sludge, courage to overcome uncompromising obstacles, a complete lack of shame to wallow in pits of mud and a smile to show through at the end!

So let this 10K obstacle course become your new guilty pleasure. Go solo or with 4 of your dirtiest, filthiest, & uncouth friends. On either accord…you will be able to look at yourself in the mirror and say “I am a Dirty Dasher!”… and then proceed  to clean yourself off.

Registration

$40 before the end of 4/24/2011

$45 before the end of 5/22/2011
