08/25/2012 The Dirty Dash Distance: 5k Location : BOGUS BASIN | 30 BOGUS CREEK ROAD BOISE, ID 83631 State : Idaho Contact : Scott Crandall Phone : 801-896-3274 Fax : Website : www.thedirtydash.com Email : info@thedirtydash.com Additional Info : Let's get one thing straight: You're not just potato farmers. Leave that to the Shelley Russets across the state. Sure, you've got a monopoly on McDonald's French fries. Does that mean you've super-sized your life to lounge on a super-sized couch with super-sized TVs drinking super-sized Double Big Gulps while watching reruns of Ricki Lake? No, it just means you feed other people's addictions. You're the supplier, the pusherman, the brains of this operation. Well, we're your dealer now so open wide and get your filthy fix of your newest addiction: a mere 16 miles from town, The Dirty Dash gives you a mud-run obstacle course that will put you in touch with nature in a way your mom would have grounded you for in grade school. You'll scale mountains, chug beers, and crawl through muddy slop so thick that, unlike Andy Dufrane, there's no way you're coming out clean on the other side. This lava flow of dark brown goodness goes down easier than a 24 pack of Diet Coke or a double-order of Chili's Molten Lava Cake, but there ain't no drive-thru or Hamburglar here to make it easy on you. You've got to work to make this course your personal Playplace. When it's all said and done, all we can assure you is that when we meet you in a mud-stained alley afterward, you'll be begging, 'Puh-puh-puh-please sir, can I have some mo'?'
