Dirty Burg

About the Event

The Dirty Burg returns to Belmont, Michigan on July 11th, offering runners the unique challenge of navigating a course that winds through the rolling terrain of Cannonsburg Ski Area in Southwest Michigan. This event is celebrated for its distinctive ski hill feature, where participants must tackle a steep ascent and descent as part of their route. The race day schedule caters to various distances: 50K at dawn, followed by the less strenuous but equally engaging 25K and 10K races in the morning, with the family-friendly 5K rounding out the afternoon.

As runners approach Cannonsburg Ski Area on a summer's morn, they are greeted not only by the lush greenery of Michigan’s countryside but also by the cool breeze that gently rustles through the trees. The July sun casts a warm glow over the trails and ski slopes, painting them in hues of gold as dawn breaks into daylight. This setting, infused with natural beauty and the invigorating atmosphere of competition, is what makes Belmont such an ideal backdrop for this event.
Rooted deeply within the fabric of the running community since its inception as part of the Dirty Double series, The Dirty Burg honors tradition by celebrating perseverance and camaraderie among athletes from all walks of life. Each race iteration sees a growing number of participants—this year's edition is expected to draw over 200 runners eager to take on the challenging course terrain. A significant portion of funds raised goes towards supporting local environmental initiatives, ensuring that every step taken contributes positively to the community’s well-being.
The Dirty Burg features meticulously designed courses that cater to different levels and ambitions. The main event, a grueling yet rewarding 50K loop, requires participants to complete five circuits around Cannonsburg Ski Area's expansive grounds, each including stretches of winding single-track trail and the formidable ski hill ascent. For those seeking a more moderate challenge, the 25K option offers two loops with all the course highlights, while shorter but equally intense options are available in both the 10K and 5K formats.
The race day begins early for serious contenders: packet pickup is from 5 am to 10 am, allowing ample time before the start of each wave. The event starts at precisely 6 am with the 50K runners leading off into the dawn light, followed by the 25K and 10K races in subsequent hours as daylight spreads wider across the landscape. By mid-morning, the final 5K race begins, welcoming participants of all ages to enjoy a shorter but no less exhilarating run through some of Michigan’s most beautiful terrain.
As for practicalities, runners must register via https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=136522 by June 25th to secure their place and receive an exclusive short-sleeve tech shirt (available while supplies last). Bib pickup is held the morning of race day from 5 am to 10 am, where participants can collect their timing chips and other materials necessary for a seamless start. On race day itself, runners will gather at Cannonsburg Ski Area's main entrance on Cannonburg Road before embarking on their respective courses.
The Dirty Burg in Belmont, Michigan is an event that captures the spirit of summer endurance running with its scenic routes, supportive community atmosphere, and rewarding challenges. Mark your calendars for July 11th to experience this unique race firsthand.
