About the Glen Elder Fun Run - Best Dam Run in Kansas!
The course crosses the dam at Waconda Lake, so you get open water on both sides for a stretch before heading back toward town. The shorter option keeps things brief; the longer one gives you more road and more of the lake. It is a flat route, and the surroundings are quiet this early in the morning.
