The Course:
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind race experience—where the views are vast, the elevation changes are real, and the finish line is full of fun!
10K Run – The race begins at the Fort Peck Dam Shaft Houses on Hwy 24 and stretches across the scenic top of the dam. Runners hit a 3.1-mile turnaround before descending approximately 350 feet down a gravel/dirt road, finishing strong on pavement at Kiwanis Park.
5K Run – This shorter but exciting route also begins atop the dam, skipping the turnaround. Participants head down the same gravel slope and transition onto pavement to reach Kiwanis Park.
5K Walk – Walkers follow the same 5K course as the runners—starting at the top of the dam, making their way down the gravel road, and ending at Kiwanis Park. Take it at your own pace and soak in the scenery!
1-Mile Fun Run/Walk – Perfect for beginners, families, or anyone looking for a casual jaunt. This fully paved nature trail at Kiwanis Park offers a flat and friendly course.
10-Mile Novice Bike Ride – Cyclists will start at the top of the dam, ride across and back, then continue past the start, descending toward flatter terrain for a smooth cruise to the finish at Kiwanis Park.
All events finish at Kiwanis Park—where you’ll be welcomed with cheers, community spirit, and post-race fun.
