Come Run, Come All to Dirt Circus Boulder!

The Dirt Circus is coming to Boulder, Colorado. Dirt Circus is an event series created by UltraSignup to bring together the local running community and celebrate everything we love about trail running. The one-day festival will highlight local run companies and clubs and includes a social run as a community, food, entertainment, camaraderie, and so much more. Come and join us under the big top.

Local Store Partner

We're excited to partner with Runners Roost Boulder and have local run companies join us for the event!

Origin Story

In 2020, UltraSignup sold to new owners, a group of runners who were amazed by how the trail running community rallied to support one another through the pandemic. They had an idea to celebrate trail running in a whole new way in late 2021, organized the first Trail Party. The response was incredible. The community was hungry to connect, to gather, to celebrate all things trail running. And so in 2023, we took all that enthusiasm and dreamed up the Dirt Circus.

Why a Circus? Once upon a time, ultrarunning looked a little different. The sport has its roots in pedestrianism, where people would gather under the big top and walk and run for sport. Bets were made, the limits were pushed, and popularity soared. So come entertain yourselves with us, under the metaphorical big top.
