Hot Dam Race

The Hot Dam Race is an annual running event held in Lubbock, Texas, at Canyon Lakes near 22nd Street and MLK Jr. Boulevard. Celebrating its 35th year, the race offers two distances: a 2-mile run/walk for participants aged 7 and older, and a 5-mile run for those 13 and up.

The 5-mile course is USATF certified (#TX13139ETM) and both courses follow an out-and-back route starting near the waterfall east of MLK Jr. Blvd. The event fosters a community atmosphere with affordable entry fees and encourages participation from a wide age range.
