Dirt Days Trail Series - West Side, Best Side 5K Trail Run at Shawnee Lookout

West Side, Best Side is a 5K trail run at Shawnee Lookout in North Bend, Ohio, with the park address on Lawrenceburg Road serving as its race headquarters. It is part of the Dirt Days Trail Series and concludes the series schedule, meaning runners are not only competing in the distance but also making their final effort for trail-series points. The course is almost entirely off-road, with 95 percent on unpaved trails. The elevation profile is modest on paper, beginning at 659 feet and reaching a maximum of 675 feet, but the footing and trail surface define it as a genuine park run instead of a road 5K. The race was added as a recent event and rapidly became a popular choice, partly because of its position as the series' final event.
