Kids in the race head up the hill along SR-155 above the dam.
The race that lets people run across the top of Grand Coulee Dam drew hundreds on Saturday morning for 5K, 10K or half marathon run under blue skies.
Organizer Kelly Buche said about 290 had pre-registered for the race, but far more than usual took advantage of late registration Friday night and early Saturday. She thought the total might come to about 350 runners registered.
With the finish line at Banks Lake Park, the event also offered a beer garden with live music, arts and crafts booths in North Dam Park, plus food vendors.
The Lions Club said they sold out of their pulled pork sandwiches and closed up their tent by 3 p.m.
