That Dam Run 13.1, 10K, 5K

Experience the Best Dam Run ever as you lace up your shoes for an unforgettable race along Cherry Creek Dam, where panoramic views of Denver and the majestic Rocky Mountains serve as your backdrop. This event offers three distances to choose from: Half Marathon, 10K, or a scenic 5K course.
As you run alongside the dam, take in the stunning vistas that stretch out before you, transforming each step into an adventure through one of Colorado's most iconic landscapes. The race is more than just running; it’s about celebrating milestones and enjoying the camaraderie among runners who share your passion for pushing boundaries and exploring new terrain.
Upon crossing the finish line, don't miss out on exclusive post-race festivities that include a free photo opportunity with Justin Beaver, refreshments to refuel, and an awards ceremony featuring event and series accolades. All participants will receive a custom finisher medal as well as a commemorative race shirt or tank top to commemorate your achievement.
This year’s highlight is the introduction of THAT DAM GONG—a special feature for all runners who have accomplished something significant: whether it's completing their first 5K, mastering the entire RunDenver Series, setting a personal record, or simply finishing the run. Celebrate these milestones by ringing in your success with that dam gong.
For those looking to get an early start on race day preparations, advance packet pickup is available on Saturday, March 6, 2027. Time and location details will be provided closer to the event date. Race day pick-up opens at 7:00 a.m., ensuring you have plenty of time before the starting gun fires.
Join us for an experience that combines breathtaking views with spirited competition and heartfelt celebration. This is one DAM RUN that promises memories to last a lifetime.
