Race Information
The beauty of the fall colors at Lake Bloomington in late October awaits you.
The Dam Site Run was created in 2020 when nearly every other race was cancelled. As it turns out, the late October date meant perfect fall colors as the leaves started to fall around Lake Bloomington, creating the perfect backdrop for a fall race.
