    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.

    The race will start tamely enough on the track at Los Gatos High School, and it will finish in the same location. But in between, runners had best be prepared for the rocky, dusty trip.

    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.

    Awards will be given to the top finishers in the different divisions. All finishers will receive ribbons, and the West Valley Track Club will provide computerized results.

    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.

    For more information, call 408.354.7365 or 408.395.4311.
