More than 10,000 runners hit the streets of Central Iowa on Saturday morning for the annual “Dam to Dam” race. The event features and 20K and a 5K run.

Race director Kurt Schaeffer says it starts at the Saylorville Dam and finishes a few blocks from the Center Street dam downtown. He says the event does include a number of competitive runners but it is designed primarily for recreational runners.

Schaeffer says they do not pay big money to the runners who come in to compete in elite positions, and that keeps it a fun run for the average runner.
