Dam Good Run

Dam Good Run

Dam Good Run is an annual April trail event at Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Morristown, AZ offering multiple distances on single-track desert trails and shoreline routes. Most courses cross the New Waddell Dam; the shortest route reaches the dam edge without crossing it.

• 40K Dam Insane course with raft crossing and Yavapai Point lake views
• 26K Single-track desert trail with significant climbs and technical terrain
• 13K Rugged single-track with climbs, descents, and lake-adjacent sections
• 4 Mile Out-and-back on Roadrunner Trail crossing the dam
• 2 Mile Out-and-back to the dam edge, staying close to the shoreline

Routes run on trails marked with ribbons, signs, and reflective medallions. The 40K includes a short raft crossing of a cove; life vests are provided and an option to swim is noted for that section. Courses pass through desert vegetation including Saguaro cacti and areas where wild burros may be present. Aid stations are placed roughly every 1.6 to 5.4 miles and provide water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. The event operates as a cupless race with reusable cups available at registration or participants may bring their own. Crews are allowed only at the start and finish, there are no remote drop bag locations, and pacers are not permitted. Parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp and campground sites are offered within Lake Pleasant Regional Park. Chip timing and live splits are used and awards are given to top finishers with finisher awards for all. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
