The Dam 5 Miler

Race Day: November 21, 2026

Join us for the 4th Annual Dam 5 Miler! 
 

This race starts at the Center Hill Recreation Area, which offers a scenic vantage point of the Center Hill Dam.  The run continues over Center Hill Dam towards then enters Edgar Evins State Park.  As you enter the State Park, a native pollinator corridor hugs the roads as you travel to the Visitor Center Office.  The route in both directions has challenging points due to road inclines.
