Dirt Circus - Chicago

The Dirt Circus is coming to the Chicago, IL Area. Dirt Circus is a series of free community events organized by UltraSignup to celebrate local races, and race directors. We are bringing together the local running community to share everything we love about trail running. The one-day festival will highlight local races, run clubs, brands, and other local businesses.
