Welcome to the 15th Annual Bow Lake Dam 15K/5K Race to Cure Cystic Fibrosis! We welcome all runners, walkers, and volunteers of all ages.

NEW THIS YEAR: 
Earlier start times: You asked, we listened! Start earlier  - hit the lake earlier!
Beach area post-race celebration:  We'll no longer be going to the church grounds for post-race activities. Save all of those extra steps! Cross the finish line and head right to the public beach lawn for post-race snacks and awards!  (sorry, no more BBQ - rules are rules and the public beach says no) Check out our Toddler Dash after the races! It's the cutest thing you'll see all year!
(Toddler T-shirts available for purchase on race day) During our first 14 years we have sent over $125,000 to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation thanks to our runners, volunteers, and many supporters.
