Dam Good Run

Morristown, United States • 12 Apr 2026

Event overview

The Dam Good Run takes place Sunday, April 12, 2026 at Lake Pleasant Regional Park in Morristown, AZ. The event offers multiple distances:

  • 40K
  • 26K
  • 13K
  • 4 Mile

All events except the 2 Mile cross the New Waddell Dam early in the course. The 40K route includes shoreline and high-elevation trails, an out-and-back to Yavapai Point, and a short crossing of Pipeline Cove that requires a guided raft with life vests or a brief PFD-assisted swim. Trails include single-track sections with desert vegetation and occasional wild burros.

Course details and logistics

Aid stations are spaced roughly every 1.6 to 5.4 miles and provide water, an electrolyte drink, snacks, and fruit. Some stations are designated as “light” (water and basic fuel only); Two Cow and Cottonwood are noted as full aid stations. The event is cupless - reusable cups are available at registration or participants may bring their own. Runners are advised to carry AT LEAST 40 ounces of fluids.

Crews may access the start and finish areas only. Only registered participants may cross the dam. Pacers are not allowed for any distance. There are no remote drop bag locations; drop bags are handled at the finish with the event cutoff in effect. Parking is available at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp in the start/finish area.
