From the Organizer
The all new Springfield Dam Run is back for 2026!! It features three different events all in one exciting, family filled afternoon.
For children 12 and Under our Kids 1/2 Mile Fun Run is a great way to introduce younger children to running events. This closed Trail event is safe, exciting and rewarding! This event is FREE for all participants.
Returning this year is our Maniac Mile. A One-Mile Sprint! How fast can you go? This event is for individuals ages 10 and up! This event is $20.
And finally, our traditional Springfield Dam Run, a beautiful 5k, taking place entirely at the Army Corps of Engineers property at the Springfield Dam. Featuring a mix of trails, dirt road, slight elevation gain and fast downhills it is sure to challenge all runners. We also welcome walkers to participate in this scenic course with stunning views of Mt. Ascutney. This event is $30 and open to individuals of all ages.
Want to combine the Dam Run and the Maniac Mile, there will be a special registration category for those willing to tackle both events and the fee will be $40 for both! Use Coupon Code DAMMANIAC during checkout to receive a $10 Discount.
Throughout all three events we will have food and ice cream vendors, family fun activities and music so bring your family and friends for a fun afternoon of racing!
