The Merrell Down & Dirty Obstacle Race presented by Subaru is an obstacle-climbing, trail-blasting series unlike any other. Each event has two course options (3 mile or a 6 mile), more than 20 challenging obstacles, a rockin’ expo, and an awesome kids’ race for ages 4-13. Athletes will experience an action-packed day with family and friends while giving back to our military heroes. With the help from thousands of athletes across the nation, we have raised over 200,000 for Operation Gratitude, a Los Angeles based charity that sends care packages to deployed U.S. Military.

MILE 2

Not too long after the mile one marker the course flattens out as runners make their way through a valley before coming to the base of “Heartbreak Hill”! This 50 yard incline will be sure to test your will power. Once at the top take a second to celebrate, it is all downhill for the remainder of the race!
