Dam Good Run
Dam Good Run is an annual April trail event at Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Morristown, Arizona. The event offers multiple distances:
- 40K
- 26K
- 13K
- 4 Mile
- 2 Mile
Most courses cross the New Waddell Dam; the 2 Mile route reaches the edge of the dam at the visitor center and returns along the shoreline. Courses use rugged single-track trails with desert vegetation, Saguaro cacti, rocky sections, and notable lake views from Yavapai Point on the 40K route. The 40K course includes two short crossings of Pipeline Cove that require either a brief guided raft ride with life vests provided or use of a personal flotation device to swim the short stretch.
Aid stations are placed approximately every 1.6 to 5.4 miles and supply water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; some stations are lighter on food. The event is cupless; reusable cups are available or participants may bring their own. Timing is chip based and awards are given to top finishers by gender at each distance, with a finisher award for all. Crews may access only the start and finish area and pacers are not permitted. Parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp and on-site medical staff are present. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
