Hosted by Aravaipa Running, Dam Good Run lets you trot across the New Waddell Dam within the opening miles, then trace shoreline singletrack and rolling desert roads. The 26K and 40K use newly built trails above the lake, and the 40K climbs to Yavapai Point for sweeping views. Races start around 7:00 AM with an 8-hour overall cutoff, making the event friendly for runners, hikers, and families alike. Come for the unique dam crossing; stay for the Sonoran scenery and easy post-race lake hang.
