Dam Good Run

Dam Good Run is a trail event in Morristown, held on April 4, 2027, with a course that follows the New Waddell Dam, the structure that created Lake Pleasant. Five formats are on offer: Dam Insane at 40 km (24.9 miles) with about 2,600 feet of climbing, Dam Crazy at 26 km (16.2 miles) with roughly 1,600 feet, Dam Tough at 13 km (8.1 miles), Dam Challenging at 4 miles, and Dam Fun at 2 miles.

That spread makes the event work for almost anyone: the 2- and 4-mile options suit newcomers and families, the 13 km is a solid first trail race, and the two long formats are genuine ultra-style days with real vertical. If you are targeting the 40 km, spend the eight weeks before race day on back-to-back weekend runs and add hill repeats once a week. Practice eating and drinking on the move, since the longer courses will keep you out for several hours.
