The Fontana Dam 5K and 10K race will be held on Saturday, August 27, along with a one-mile fun run.

The race will be held along the shores of the Little Tennessee River below Fontana Dam. The course is relatively flat and draws runners from all around the region to compete.

Race sponsors have planned a lake tour for participants aboard the Miss Hazel, departing from the Fontana Marina docks at 6 p.m. the night before, along with a pre-race dinner with live entertainment.

Race day registration will be at 6:45 a.m. www.fontanavillage.com or 828.498.2104.
