About the RUN THE DAM 2026
The course crosses Grand Coulee Dam and runs through the canyon walls of the Coulee before finishing at Banks Lake Park, where the race wraps into a festival. Several distance options mean you can pick how much of that terrain you want to take on. The dam crossing alone is worth the trip out here.
