Dirty Dozen 50k

The Dirty Dozen 50K is a challenging ultramarathon held in Forest Park, Queens, New York City. The race features a 2.5-mile loop along the scenic Orange Trail, completed 12 times for a total of 50 kilometers. Each loop includes 300 feet of elevation gain, making the course deceptively tough with rolling hills and shaded woods.

Runners benefit from fully stocked aid stations after every lap, providing hydration and nutrition. The event fosters a grassroots, supportive atmosphere where camaraderie and endurance are celebrated. Scheduled for late August, the race demands trail shoes and readiness for variable weather, offering a unique urban trail running experience.
