Event

The Dam Good Run takes place on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Morristown, AZ. The event offers these distances:

  • 40K
  • 26K
  • 13K
  • 4 Mile
  • 2 Mile

All events except the 2 Mile cross the New Waddell Dam. Courses use shoreline single-track trails and include desert vegetation and lake views. The 40K route reaches Yavapai Point and crosses a small cove twice via a guided raft (life vests provided) or by using a personal flotation device to swim where the foot bridge is out of service.

Course and logistics

Aid stations are placed approximately every 1.6 to 5.4 miles and provide water, electrolyte drink, and a mix of sweet and salty snacks; some stations are marked as “light” with water only. The event is cupless; reusable cups are available at registration or can be brought by participants. Chip timing is used and split points are available on course.

Crews are allowed only at the start/finish area. Only registered participants may cross the dam. No pacers are permitted and there are no remote drop bag locations. Parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers at each distance, and all finishers receive a finisher award.
