Moab 240 runners evacuated after Canyonlands flooding

About 70 runners and volunteers were evacuated Oct. 11 from Utah’s Moab 240, a 240-mile trail race, after floodwaters from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel stranded them overnight at a race station in Canyonlands National Park. Host Destination Trail said all were safe and accounted for after sheriff’s-coordinated shuttles reached them.
