Dirty Duo 2026

Dirty Duo is a spring trail race held March 21, 2026 in North Vancouver, British Columbia and presented by Fore Trails. The event brings local trail runners together for a day of mud, hills and West Coast winter-to-spring conditions that showcase North Vancouver’s forested recreation areas.

​

Race day runs as a single-day trail event in late March. Runners can expect a trail-focused format that attracts a mix of local club runners and weekend adventurers looking for a challenging, off-road outing to shake out the winter legs.

​

What sets Dirty Duo apart is its straightforward, trail-first character: a no-frills celebration of North Vancouver’s trails and the community that uses them. The event emphasizes getting out on technical singletrack, connecting with other trail runners and enjoying the seasonal conditions that make early‑spring trail running a little dirtier and more memorable.
