Be there on February 24, 2018 for our Daylight and Moonlight “Dirty Double” races and earn a custom pilsner glass by completing a morning and night race both. If you're up to the challenge, take on the double marathons of Blood, Sweat & Beers, or grab a couple friends and take on “The Trailogy”.

Race Distances

We'll be offering the option to run the Daylight races starting with the marathon at 8:00am, the Moonlight races starting at 4:00pm and later, or the Dirty Double, where you get to enjoy both races! All race distances are available for both the Daylight and Moonlight races.

If you choose to register for the Dirty Double, you can change the distances you're running on race day, but we'll ask which distances you plan on running when you register.

Dirty Double

Conquer the Dirty Double by completing a both a Daylight and Moonlight race of any distance for twice the fun! Upon finishing the Daylight race you will be awarded the official race finisher medal, and upon completion of the Moonlight race you will receive the a signature Dirty Double pilsner glass adorned with the race's logo.

The Trailogy

Why conquer the race alone when you can do it with friends? Grab two friends and create a team and do “The Trailogy”: a 3-person relay consisting of the Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K run sequentially. The first teammate will begin the Half Marathon when the race starts at 9:30am. Upon finishing the Half Marathon, the next teammate will run the 10K with the final teammate running the 5K to finish things up.

In addition to receiving the official Blood, Sweat & Beers finisher medal, each teammate will also receive a special medal for completing The Trailogy. There will also be awards for the teams completing the three legs the fastest.

Lil' Dashers 2K Kids Run

Have a budding trail runner at home? Bring them out! At 12:30am on race day we'll kick off the Lil' Dashers 2K, an introductory trail race just for kids 12 and under. With an aid station serving water and lots of encouragement along an easy-to-follow course, Lil' Dashers runners will get the full Desert Dash trail race experience! All entrants receive a Lil' Dashers foldable water bottle and all finishers receive a custom Lil' Dashers finisher medal.

All aid stations will be stocked with water in water jugs (you must carry your own water bottle), Tailwind Endurance Fuel provided in cups, energy gels, and an assortment of munchies and goodies to eat.
