The Dam Scramble is an endurance trail challenge at the Curwensville Lake Recreation Area that includes three courses: 16 mi, 11 mi, or 5K. The majority of the course will be on single-track trails through the woods with many beautiful views of Curwensville Lake. Hills abound to get the heart pumping while leaving plenty of runnable surface. We're also proud that our longer distance courses are a part of the 2015 Trail Runner Trophy Series with such great events as the Hyner View Challenge, Mile Run, Dam Half/Full, and Rothrock Trail Challenge!

Course

We want you to have a challenging and rewarding “scramble” around the lake! While the challenge welcomes both hikers and runners, this will not be your average “walk in the woods” so please only attempt the longer courses if you are sufficiently trained. Our 5K will only be 3.1 miles of well used trails at the lake and will be a better option for the average hiker.
Race Day Details
Registration on race day (Sat. August 22nd) will begin at 7:00AM at Pavilion #2 at Curwensville Lake, click here to see their pavilion map. Pavilion #2 is not the same pavilion we have used in past years. This pavilion is close to the marina. We'll be sure to have signs pointing you in the right direction on race day! Participants will also be able to register the day before (Fri. August 21st) at the Conservation District Office at 511 Spruce Street, Suite 6, Clearfield, PA 16830 from 2-6PM. A map of the office location can be found on our Contact Us page.
- There is a MANDATORY pre-race meeting at 8:20AM at Pavilion #2 adjacent to the Start line for all participants.
- The 16 and 11 mile runners will start at 8:30AM from Pavilion #2 with the 5K runners starting shortly thereafter. The Finish line for all courses will also be at this location.
- Food will be available following the race and each participant will receive their finisher's medal after crossing the Finish line.
