Dirt Cheap Stage Race

The Dirt Cheap Stage Race is a challenging three-day trail running event held at Mendon Ponds Park in New York. It features three stages: a 3-mile time trial on Pond Road, a 5.5-mile trail run at Devil's Bathtub with a notable stair climb finish, and an 11-mile epic trail stage through the park's extensive trail system starting at Stewart Lodge. Participants can choose to run one, two, or all three stages.

The race offers timing, post-race food, and awards, with finishers of all three stages receiving a coveted hoodie. The event emphasizes natural beauty and tough, hilly terrain, requiring headlamps for the first stage if run in the dark. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
