Good weekend to be here

  • Run The Dam (a whole festival)

Dressed up like the rock band KISS, a group of runners come off the top of the dam in 2022 in the full spirit of the weekend.

It’s not just a dam run anymore.
The Dam Run has morphed into more than a 5K, 10K, or half-marathon race on Saturday, Sept. 16. Now it’s a whole festival.

And Sunbanks Lake Resort is wrapping up its lineup of music festivals with a weekend of tributes to great rock bands.

Run the Dam now offers food, vendors, beer garden, live entertainment, Kids Korner and more.
