Course details
The 10K and 5K events start at the Fort Peck Dam Shaft Houses on Hwy 24 and run across the top of the dam. The 10K includes a 3.1-mile turnaround on the dam, then descends about 350 feet on a gravel/dirt road before finishing on pavement at Kiwanis Park. The 5K follows the same descent but does not include the turnaround. The 5K Walk follows the same 5K course as the runners. The 1-mile Run/Walk is a fully paved nature trail at Kiwanis Park and is described as flat. The 10-mile Novice Bike Ride starts at the top of the dam, crosses and returns, then continues past the start and descends to flatter terrain toward Kiwanis Park.
