It's rough, it's dusty, it's competitive. But it's also become one of the most popular running events in the Santa Clara Valley. It's the Los Gatos Dammit Run, and it will return to town for its 30th running on Aug. 16.
Another competitive field is expected this year for the traditional event. But one thing's for sure—it's no walk in the park. And anyone who has made the dusty climb to the face of Lexington Dam and back knows it.
The race will start tamely enough on the track at Los Gatos High School, and it will finish in the same location. But in between, runners had best be prepared for the rocky, dusty trip into the foothills to Lexington.
Race-day registration will begin at 6:30 a.m., and the starting gun will blast at 8:30 a.m.
The preregistration entry fee is $10 ($30 with a T-shirt), and the fee is $20 on race day ($40 with a T-shirt). Preregistration closes Aug. 14. Proceeds from the Dammit go to benefit the Los Gatos High School Track Repair Fund. For more information, call 408.354.7365 or 408.395.4311.
