Slam the Dam 10K Run
The Slam the Dam 10K returns to Rumbling Bald Resort at 112 Mountains Blvd., Lake Lure, NC 28746 as part of a Race for Recovery weekend organized by the Lake Lure Olympiad Committee. The event is listed together with the Race to the Rock 5K; the Lake Lure Triathlon will not take place this year because the lake is not at standards for safe swimming.
The course covers 10K on local roads and trails and is noted as difficult with many elevation changes. The description indicates significant uphill and downhill sections rather than a flat route.
Registration opens January 12, 2026 and closes July 31, 2026. The listed registration fee is $40.00. No start or finish times are included in this description.
The setting at Rumbling Bald Resort places the route near Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, areas that were affected by Hurricane Helene in 2024. The event is presented as part of local recovery efforts and the return of running events in the area, with adjustments to which races can be held safely.
