“The Best Dam Race in Idaho” is back! On Saturday, June 1st, “The Maniac, The Best Dam Race in Idaho” is back! Planning has been in the works and the race is ready for racers. The Maniac offers runners and walkers two unique choices: either a 5K (3.1 miles) run/walk or a 3K (1.86 miles) run/walk experience. Participants will check-in at the Dworshak Viewpoint starting at 8 a.m., with the 5K run/walk beginning at 10:00 a.m. and the 3K run/walk beginning at 10:05 a.m. Participants will follow along the outlined 3K or 5K course across the Dworshak Dam to the midpoint check-in station and then return along the course to the finish line. The race is open to all ages. The cost to pre-register is free for children under age five, $20 for adults, and $15 for youth ages 6 to 10. Participants can also register the day of the event, but the fee will increase to $30 for adults and $20 for children ages 6 to 10. Participants 18 years of age or younger must have an adult present to sign a waiver the day of the event and all participants must present a valid photo id the day of the race for security purposes.
