Volunteers man a water station on B Street, just where runners top "the dam hill" after running, or walking, past the new Bureau of Reclamation fire station.
Chelsea Miller, 38, of Omak, leads a pack of runners crossing Osborn Bay on the causeway on her way to 13th place in the half marathon, which she finished in 2:04:37.4.
Participants take off in unison Saturday morning as race director Kelly Buche's air horn signals the start of the 10k race for the annual Run the Dam. Though it was chilly - the night before saw the season's first frost advisory - the grueling climb up "the dam hill" all but guaranteed everyone would break a sweat. Aside from official tours, Run the Dam's 5k, 10k and half marathon events are the only opportunity for the general public to cross the top of the dam, which is closed to general access for security reasons.
