Lake Sara Dam Run
Lake Sara Dam Run is scheduled for April 4, 2026 at Lake Sara Dam in Effingham, Illinois. The event is organized as both in-person and virtual options and lists multiple distance choices for runners and walkers.
Distances offered:
- Half Marathon
- 8 Mile
- 5K Run or Walk
The event includes event apparel and awards. The Half Marathon entry includes a Dam Run full zip jacket. The 5K, 8 Mile, and 5K Walk entries include a Dam Run shirt. A 4 inch finish medal is part of the event swag and virtual participants receive a guaranteed medal by mail.
The main fundraising purpose is to support Effingham County, Sigel, Neoga and Arcola athletes with intellectual disabilities. This year donations also support local individuals with cancer related illnesses. The listing shows a fundraising program with a stated goal and a current amount raised, and it records a participant count for the event.
Teams are supported with a team discount option for groups of ten or more and a Biggest Team recognition. Registrations made before March 1 are noted as guaranteeing a custom Dam Run jacket or shirt; registrations after that date do not guarantee those items.
