Montane DirtyTrail 2026

Montane DirtyTrail is an October trail race in Silkeborg, Denmark, focusing on the natural challenges of the local woods instead of artificial obstacles. Participants select from multiple distances, including a shorter option suitable for most, presenting a muddy adventure run rather than a conventional road race. The event incorporates water, mud, steep inclines, forest paths, and tight singletrack, where navigating difficult terrain and messy conditions is prioritized over pure speed. The course winds through the trails near Silkeborg, featuring ascents, descents, water crossings, and distinct areas named Kødsovsen, Andedammen, Softicen, and Plævret. Runners can compete individually or as a DirtyTeam, with teammates starting, finishing, and assisting each other throughout the race; team divisions offer men's, women's, and mixed categories. The event welcomes friends, work colleagues, club members, and recreational runners, and the venue provides space for teams to set up tents or pavilions for refreshments and socializing post-race.
