2023 EVENT WILL BE VIRTUAL, returning as live race in 2024.

The Best Damn Race® is a running series created for runners by runners. Our goal is to provide a big race experience at a local race price. It doesn’t matter if you are an elite runner, first timer, walker, or using a baby jogger, we want you to have the best DAMN race experience.
Our unique registration process allows all participants the opportunity to register for low prices on a first come, first served basis. This gives all athletes an opportunity to race regardless of income level. For example, our 5K starts out with the price of $15 and stays at that price for the first 200 who register.
Our philosophy is “RUN, EAT, DRINK, PARTY”. We pride ourselves on spoiling our athletes. Every race entry includes: race shirt, finisher medal, bib, goodie bag, free food, free beer, and more! It doesn’t matter if it was your first 5K or your 10th Half Marathon, the post race party will be a celebration of you and your fellow athletes!
Thank you for running Best Damn Race!

Awesome medal and tshirt. Course flat one over pass . 2 parts of the course are out and back. Not very scenic . Good support on intersections but don’t expect big crowds, ok any crowds cheering along the course. Not a big race maybe 900 ran the half not sure about the 5k. Shuttles from race hotel ran a lil late. Good food after great vibe and lots of free beers and tito’s vodka afterwards.Plus you are in the big easy..good reason for a getaway race and vacation.

I broke my toe the night before the race but managed to tape it up and run it. A poor performance but their medical tent was great help after. A great way to start a little vacation!
