Mantua Dam Race
The Mantua Dam Race is an annual running event held on July 19 as part of the Little Valley Days celebration. The course runs around the Mantua Reservoir with the start and finish located at Mantua Park, next to the city offices.
Distances offered:
- 5 Mile race around the Mantua Reservoir
- 1 Mile walk and kids run
Registration is listed with fees of $30 for the 5 Mile and $15 for the 1 Mile. Both distances are chip timed and awards are planned for overall and age group winners. To guarantee a race shirt, registration must be completed by July 5 at midnight; registration remains open until the event but shirts are not guaranteed after that deadline.

The event is supported by local sponsors, including Dr. Dan Johnson Orthopedic Sports Medicine and several area businesses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
