Dam Good Run

40K | 26K | 13K | 4 Mile | 2 Mile

Lake Pleasant Regional Park
Morristown, AZ

Experience the thrill of running across the iconic Waddell Dam at the Dam Good Run!

This annual April event in North Phoenix's stunning Lake Pleasant Regional Park caters to all levels.

Conquer the dam (except for the 2-mile option which sticks to the shoreline), then explore scenic single-track trails teeming with Saguaro cacti and curious wild burros.

Push your limits with the 40K "Dam Insane" course which features breathtaking lake views from Yavapai Point and a quick, guided raft ride across a scenic cove (life vests provided).

Grab a friend, choose your distance and be part of the Dam Good tradition!

*Distances may vary slightly each year due to permitting.
