About the 2027 Bridge and Dam
All distances start at the Bagnell Dam Scenic Overlook, with runners shuttled to the start line. The course runs along the Bagnell Dam Strip, a historic stretch that gives the race its name and puts the lake scenery right in front of you. The terrain is road running through a recognizable local landmark rather than a park or trail setting.
After finishing, the post-race party moves to Neon Taco, a nearby restaurant, where food and drink are available alongside the awards ceremony. Parking logistics are handled partly by the shuttle system, so arriving with extra time before the start is worth planning for.

Bridge and Dam 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The 2027 Bridge and Dam has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
