Lake of the Ozarks' Bridge and Dam is back for the lucky 13th year and it's going to keep getting bigger and better!
The 5k, 10k, and Half Marathon take place on the historical Bagnell Dam Strip in Lake Ozark, MO.
Brought to you by FundRuns and the Lake of the Ozarks Runners, Bridge and Dam will again benefit Wonderland Camp, Lake of the Ozarks Shrine Club, Lake Area Big Brothers Big Sisters and FundRuns/Lake of the Ozarks Runners
The certified half marathon course will return and all races will begin at the Bagnell Dam Scenic Overlook. Racers will be shuttled to the start line.
All runners registered before the cutoff will receive high-quality Bella Canvas race shirts and custom medals will be given to all finishers. Age group awards will be given in standard age groups.
