The Dam Half

The Dam Half is a challenging ½ marathon staged in central Pennslyvania that has expanded to become a dual trail competition to include a marathon. We hope that runners and hikers will continue to enjoy th 13-mile course that takes contestants over single & double track trails with some portions of fire roads. The contestants will be subjected to rocks, mud, downed trees, stumps, roots, woodland creatures and small stream crossings. Competitors will scale challenging ascents with scenic vistas before the final downhill to the finish line!

Dam Half PicturesThe inagural Dam Full will lead runners and speed hikers further out along new trails in Bald Eagle State Forest. Cut-off times will be posted and enforced to ensure safety of the contestants and our support personnel.

The elevation gains will surly leave legs screaming for mercy. Afterwards contestants will bask in the camaraderie around the pavillion, complete with a warm fire and delicious food. This race is open to all levels of athletes who share a common love for the adventurous outdoors. Other namesakes to this outstanding event are the attractive long sleeve t-shirts, awesome top finisher awards, abundant door prizes, and overflowing goody bags. Earn a Marathoner's finishing medal at this year's Inagural Dam Full.

Both loops will provide excellent support and trail preparation that our committee has become known for. We will post more information in the upcoming weeks.
