Merrell Down & Dirty returned to Philly for the fifth consecutive year with a new 21 obstacle military style course at a new location and with a new cause.

This year’s race has partnered with Operation Gratitude who’s mission is to lift the morale of service men and women deployed to hostile territories around the world by sending personalized care packages containing food, hygiene products, entertainment items and letters of appreciation. Over $200,000 has been raised for the organization so far thanks to MESP and the Merrell Down & Dirty Obstacle Race presented by Subaru.
