Our muddy marvellous Dirt Race series is set to return for 2026 – and we’d love to see you there.

This two round multi-terrain series starts with Round 1 at Irchester Country Park, before heading to the spectacular Brigstock Country Park for Round 2.

These events take place in stunning surroundings, offering challenging but enjoyable races over a number of different distances.

Our Irchester Dirt Run will be held on Sunday, January 25 and offers a choice of 5k, 10k or 15k distances. We then head to Brigstock on Sunday, February 22, where we have 7.5k and 15k options.

In 2026, we will be back to the uphill version at Irchester, running the event in the opposite direction to the 2025 event.

If you fancy a change from your usual parkrun, want to have a crack at trail running, love running in beautiful settings, or simply like things a little more, er, dirty then these are the races for you.
