Best Dam Run – 10K & Half Marathon

Location: 4th Ave., Between Broadway and SE Main, Estacada

Date: Saturday, September 09, 2023

Time: 8:00am

The Best Dam Run course is lovely! Mostly on private closed road, it features views of the Clackamas River, cool forests, interesting geology and (if you’re lucky) bald eagles and osprey. The 10K is a speedy, net downhill point-to-point course, same as prior years. The new half marathon course is a Z-fold course — it starts out with the 10K, then at 3.45 miles, heads back towards the start, then turns around yet again to finish at the same finish line as the 10K, Broadway Street in downtown Estacada.

Volunteering

We need volunteers. You, a friend, or family can all sign up to volunteer! Even event participants (walkers and runners) can volunteer, as there are shifts before the event and after, for set up and take-down of the event, too. As a thank you, every volunteer receives a code for $50 off a future ORRC event (good for 1 year).
