I came into this race with the mindset of just using it as a prep race for Thunder Rock 100, testing out gear, and enjoying some picture perfect Spring weather. At the end of the day all of those boxes were checked and then some. Dirty Double is one of the best trail races I've ever been a part of. From the volunteers to the variety of the course, everything was top notch but still very low-key and laid back. Unlike many courses which may be held in one park/natural area, Dirty Double utilizes about six different parks located throughout South Knoxville collectively known as the Urban Wilderness. This makes for a mix of singletrack, doubletrack, dirt road, and suburban neighborhood throughout the whole course with around 2,500ft of elevation gained primarily through countless "micro" hills.
