Dammit Run
The 27th annual Dammit Run returns to Los Gatos on Aug. 12.
As races go, this is a tough one. And anyone who has ever made the dusty climb to the face of Lexington Dam and back knows it.
Race-day registration will begin at 6:30 a.m., and the starting gun will blast at 8:30 a.m. Runners can preregister at Athletic Performance, 55 W. Main St., or at the Runners Factory, 51 University Ave., through Aug. 10.
The preregistration entry fee is $8 ($20 with a T-shirt), and the fee is $15 on race day ($30 with a T-shirt). T-shirts alone are priced at $15 and will be sold at the track on race day or in advance at Runners Factory and Athletic Performance. Proceeds from the Dammit go to benefit the Los Gatos High School Track Repair Fund.

The Los Gatos Lions' Club will sponsor a pancake breakfast following the Aug. 12 running of the Dammit Run. Proceeds from the breakfast will go towards fund-raising efforts to build a new swimming pool at LGHS.
