This is a race that might be as fun to watch as it is to participate in. It’s a good thing to because in a little over 2 months the first (2010) Dirty Dash Salt Lake City sold out. This 10k race or obstacle course in the mud is limited to 4000 participants and teams.
Update In 2010 a second race has been added for the same day. 9:00AM and 4:00PM
If you watch, you will have the opportunity to get in on the action and donate to a good cause. For $1, people can buy a water balloon to pelt at runners as they go by. Salt Lake County alternative school Vista will prepare and sell the 2,000 watery weapons and some Super Soakers. Proceeds will go to a charity of the students’ choice.
The Dirty Dash will also be benefiting the Soldier Hollow Legacy Foundation and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The event also hosts a Piglet Plunge…a short fun mud run for kids 12 and under.
When:Last Saturday in September
