The Teton Dam failure on June 5, 1976 released a destructive flood that caused about $500 million in damage, resulted in eleven deaths, and left thousands homeless in Wilford, Sugar City, Rexburg, Salem, Hibbard, Firth, Blackfoot, and Roberts. Recovery involved aid from volunteers in Idaho and nearby states.
The event is based in Rexburg, Idaho, with an address listed as 35 N 1st East, Rexburg, ID 83440. Historically the races draw a large field of participants; the source text notes that over a thousand runners take part. The presentation emphasizes remembrance of the dam collapse and community response while offering multiple race distances for participants.
