Crofton's Dam Race
Crofton's Dam Race is a multi-event running and multisport weekend held in Crofton, NE along Lewis and Clark Lake. The program offers three main events at the Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area and nearby Weigand Recreation Area, with courses that use campground roads and lakefront routes.
Distances and options include:
- 1.5-mile kayak, 5K run, 12-mile bike (sprint triathlon with kayaking instead of swimming)
- 13.1 miles (half marathon)
- 12 miles (bike-only course described as a scenic ride)
The triathlon course combines a lake paddle, a short road run through the Weigand campground, and a 12-mile bike route that follows rolling hills overlooking the lake. Participants may enter the triathlon individually or as part of a team. The bike-only event follows a similar 12-mile scenic route with hill sections. Organizers provide an FAQ and contact options for more event details. The event lists community sponsorship and presents the races as courses that highlight the shoreline and local roads around Lewis and Clark Lake.
