The Dam Half

Mifflinburg, United States • 14 Sep 2025

The Dam Half is a challenging trail half marathon held in RB Winter State Park, near Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania. The 13-mile course combines single and double track trails with sections of fire road, climbing about 2300 feet of total gain. Runners encounter rocks, mud, downed trees, roots, stream crossings, and occasional wildlife, all crowned by scenic vistas before a final downhill to the finish on the park’s beach. The event has grown from a small race to a family-friendly affair with live music, food, and camaraderie after the trails. Navigation relies on orange ribbons, aid-station cutoffs, and a six-hour limit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
