Lace up for an unforgettable trail running experience at the Three Dams 10 Miler, 10K, and 5K on August 8, 2026, in scenic Logan, UT. This stunning out-and-back course journeys alongside the picturesque Logan River, winding through the beautiful Logan Canyon and past the First, Second, and Third Dams. Runners will navigate the moderate Logan River Trail, which features a blend of gravel paths and some rocky sections, offering mostly gentle grades with occasional moderately steep inclines and a total elevation gain of 574 feet for the 10 Miler distance. Enjoy breathtaking canyon views and the benefit of a largely shaded route, providing a refreshing escape into nature.
As part of the Urban Trail Racing Series, the Three Dams event serves as excellent preparation for larger races like the Top of Utah Half Marathon and Logan Marathon. All distances start at First Dam/Canyon Entrance Park, with the 10 Miler kicking off at 7:30 AM, followed by the 10K and 5K at 8:00 AM. Aid stations along the course offer hydration and support, with restrooms conveniently located inside the Stokes Nature Center and near the Second Dam parking. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 89°F and lows around 56°F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, ensuring pleasant running weather.
Beyond the challenge, participants are rewarded with a sleek unisex t-shirt, a shiny finisher medal, and a bag full of goodies. Limited parking is available at the start/finish area, so carpooling is highly encouraged to ensure a smooth race morning. The Three Dams race promises a perfect blend of accessibility for trail runners and the breathtaking beauty of one of Utah's premier canyon recreation areas.
