Event Description
Get ready for an exhilarating adventure at the Muddy Paws 5k, 5 Mile & 10 Mile trail race, set among the trails of the picturesque Kendall Lake area of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Lace up your shoes and prepare to tackle the 5k, complete one loop for the 5 miler, or challenge yourself with two loops for the 10 miler. Whether you walk or run, this race has an option perfectly suited to your pace.
Since its inception in 2005 by WRR partner Vince Rucci, Muddy Paws has become a beloved event. Vince's passion for running with his rescue dogs inspired this race, and it's only fitting that it supports the Humane Society of Summit County. The M.A.C. (Mobile Adoption Center) will be at Pine Hollow on race day from 8:00am-11:00am—you might just discover a new trail partner to join you on future adventures!

Dirty Trail Series Event
Nine events. One dirty good time. One question: How dirty are you willing to get?
The Dirty Trail Series is Western Reserve Racing's celebration of trail running, hiking, and getting a little bit dirty along the way. With nine events throughout the year, the series takes you through some of Northeast Ohio's best trails and parks, from rolling singletrack to technical terrain and everything in between.
Participate in at least 5 Dirty Trail Series events to qualify for series recognition, earn points toward overall and age-group awards, and receive an invitation to the legendary Dirty Trail Series Awards Party. Plus, every event you complete earns you another raffle ticket for the end-of-season celebration.
Whether you pick a few favorite trails or chase all nine, the Dirty Trail Series is a year-long excuse to get outside, explore new trails, challenge yourself, and have a whole lot of fun getting dirty.
Pick your trails. Get dirty. Chase the series.
