Storm the Castle Run

Warnings of another atmospheric river didn’t douse the enthusiasm of runners who turned out for Saturday’s running of the “Storm the Castle” half marathon in Rainbow. The event, organized by Elevated Trail Racing, was an out-and-back 6.5 mile long course that began and ended at the Upper McKenzie Community Center. Along the way participants crossed the McKenzie River via the Belknap Covered Bridge and climbed up and down 2,815 feet to the top of Castle Rock.
