The race began at 5 a.m. Saturday morning, but was canceled when the weather took a turn and organizers of the event began reporting many runners never made it back.<\/p>\n<p>The Davis County Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed all stranded participants were finally accounted for by 2:30 p.m. and no serious injuries were reported. However, officials said when the runners were discovered, they were in \u201cvarious states of distress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVenturing onto the mountains, trails and bodies of water at this time of year can be dangerous because the weather changes rapidly and conditions can quickly become life-threatening,\u201d said Davis County Sheriff Kelly Sparks. \u201cEven a mild rain in the valley can translate to blizzard conditions at higher elevations. The rapid and collaborative response of our search and rescue volunteers, race organizers and first responders from multiple agencies resulted in minimal injuries and all runners returning home safely today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 50-mile race takes place on a designated trail described as a \u201ctough course\u201d with roughly 12,000 feet of vertical gain and 10,000 feet of descent. Sheriff Sparks said he extends his deepest gratitude to everyone who was involved in the rescue efforts.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/manhunt-underway-after-ga-police-officer-fatally-shot\/\">Manhunt Underway After Ga.
