Teton Dam Marathon
The Teton Dam Marathon is an annual running event held in Rexburg, Idaho, on the first Saturday in June. The 2027 edition takes place on June 5, 2027. The event uses a local start location at 35 N 1st East, Rexburg, ID 83440.

The event is scheduled around the anniversary of the 1976 Teton Dam collapse. On June 5, 1976, the dam failure caused widespread flood damage estimated at $500 million, resulted in eleven deaths, and left thousands homeless across Wilford, Sugar City, Rexburg, Salem, Hibbard, Firth, Blackfoot, and Roberts. The race commemorates that history and involves large numbers of local and visiting runners each year.
Registration, specific course details, and participant services are managed by the event organizer. The event description notes participation by runners from across the country and regularly attracts over a thousand participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
