Bridge & Dam Half-Marathon, 10K & 5K

Bridge & Dam Half-Marathon, 10K & 5K is run at Lakeside, on the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, on April 10, 2027, with the half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K and the 5K all starting at 7:30 a.m. The races follow the historic Bagnell Dam Strip at Lake Ozark, and runners are shuttled out to the start at the Bagnell Dam overlook. The event supports local organisations including Wonderland Camp and Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the after-party at Neon Taco brings food, drinks and the awards ceremony.

Point-to-point road racing with a shuttle changes your morning logistics more than your training: plan to be on the bus early and to keep warm at the start with nothing but what you can leave behind. The half is a reasonable spring target off a 12-week build with one long run a week, while the 10K and 5K make the trip worthwhile for anyone not chasing 13.1.
