Race Information
If you are looking for a great experience for a Halloween themed race, you have found the right event! The First Dam Scary Run has been going for close to 40 years and is a local favorite!
The 5K and 10K will take you along the leaf covered streets of 'The Island' in Logan, Utah. The 10K takes you up to and along First Dam (thus the race name) at the mouth of beautiful Logan Canyon while the 5K winds through the streets of this old community. Participants recently have ranged from 3 yrs. old to 80 years old, representing just about every age in that range, so this is an event for all!

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Breathtaking national park views
✅ Smooth, gentle route
✅ An unforgettable atmosphere
Lace up for 13.1 miles through the heart of Utah's red rock country. Starting on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, this gently rolling, point-to-point course follows the Virgin River, just two major turns stand between you and the finish, as towering sandstone walls and endless desert views build with every mile.
It's bold. It's beautiful. It's unforgettable. And it ends right where the adventure should: at Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale, staring at the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Beat the 10/31 price increase!
