KEYSER – Aging & Family Services of Mineral County is proud to announce “Conquer the Dam,” the first 5K fundraising run/walk at Jennings Randolph Lake.
Proceeds from this event, scheduled for Saturday, May 19, will support the Meals on Wheels program of Mineral County. Jennings Randolph Lake is a reservoir of 952 acres located on the North Branch Potomac River in Garrett County, Md., and Mineral County, W.Va. The lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and construction was completed in 1981.
Originally named Bloomington Lake, it was later renamed for West Virginia Senator Jennings Randolph.
The highlight of the 5K run/walk will be that runners and walkers will travel over the dam and spillway, normally closed to public travel.
The event begins and ends at the top of the Howell Run Picnic area. There will be a downhill start and then cross the dam and then reverse direction with a slight uphill climb to the finish.
Cost is $20 early registration; $10 for those 14 years old and younger.
