Longest Dam Race

Embark on an exhilarating journey at a remarkable athletic event featuring a variety of races, ideal for both experienced athletes and casual participants alike. Choose from a 10K or 5K run, a 5K walk, a 1-mile run/walk, a 10-mile novice bike route, or even partake in virtual races. The definitive adventure begins atop the iconic Fort Peck Dam. The 10K run starts near the Dam Shaft houses on Highway 24, extending across the vast expanse of the dam. As runners approach the midpoint, they'll encounter a 3.1-mile turnaround and experience an invigorating 350-foot gradual descent along a gravel and dirt path. This course shifts back to smooth asphalt, guiding participants to their victorious finish at scenic Kiwanis Park. The 5K course mirrors the 10K, minus the turnaround, and also concludes in front of the park.

For those opting for a more leisurely pace, the 1-mile run/walk offers a delightful path along a paved nature trail within Kiwanis Park, ensuring a relaxing experience surrounded by natural beauty. Cycling enthusiasts can partake in the novice 10-mile bike route, which commences at the dam’s summit, traverses back and forth across the dam, and continues past the start, before a thrilling downhill section leads to a flat sprint to the finish line at Kiwanis Park.

Each event culminates at the vibrant Kiwanis Park, making for a perfect endpoint to this varied and visually stunning course.
