The Dam Half is a challenging ½ marathon trail race in Central Pennsylvania. The 13-ish mile course takes runners over single & double track trails with some portions of fire roads. Complete with rocks, mud, downed trees, stumps, roots, woodland creatures, and a small stream crossing, runners will scale challenging ascents with scenic vistas. With over 2000 feet of total elevation gain, the race is sure to leave your legs screaming for mercy. Afterwards, bask in the camaraderie in the pavilion complete with a warm fire and delicious food. This race is open to all levels of athletes who share a common love for the adventurous outdoors. Other namesakes to this outstanding event are the attractive long sleeve t-shirts, awesome top-finisher awards, abundant door prizes, and overflowing goody bags. Don’t miss out! New for 2009 we will be adding a Challenging Trail Marathon yes that's right A MARATHON THAT IS NOTHING BUT TRAILS! http://www.midpenntrailblazers.com/

Get Runnin Slow Poke!!!

	The Dam Half is a challenging trail ½ marathon staged in central Pennsylvania that has expanded to become a dual trail competition to include a marathon. We hope that runners and hikers will continue to enjoy the 13-mile course that takes contestants over single & double track trails with some portions of fire roads. The contestants will be subjected to rocks, mud,
downed trees, stumps, roots, woodland creatures and small stream crossings. Competitors will scale challenging ascents with scenic vistas before the final downhill to the finish line!

The inaugural Dam Full will lead runners and speed hikers further out along new trails in Bald Eagle State forest. Cut-off times will be posted and enforced to ensure safety of the contestants and our support personnel.

Both loops will provide excellent support and trail preparation that our committee has become known for. We will post more information in the upcoming weeks.

The elevation gains will surly leave legs screaming for mercy. Afterwards, contestants will bask in the camaraderie around the pavilion, complete with a warm fire and delicious food. This race is open to all levels of athletes who share a common love for the adventurous outdoors. Other namesakes to this outstanding event are the attractive long sleeve t-shirts, awesome top-finisher awards, abundant door prizes, and overflowing goody bags. Earn a Marathoner’s finishing medal at this year’s inaugural Dam Full.
