Some 70 participants in an endurance race in southeastern Utah were being evacuated from an aid station Sunday, when they were stuck overnight by a storm.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for most of the state, through Monday afternoon.

The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post Sunday that it coordinated with organizers of the Moab 240 race to help get racers and volunteers out of the area near Bridget Jack Butte, east of Canyonlands National Park. The aid station there is about 96 miles along the race route, which runs 240 miles and starts and ends in Moab.

Destination Trail, the organization that operates the race, said on Facebook that the first bus to pick up runners who were stuck at Bridger Jack arrived there around 11 a.m. and was bringing them back to race headquarters in Moab.

By 12:45, the sheriff’s office posted, everyone stranded on the route had been safely evacuated.

The aid station had been stocked up before the race, organizers said, and those who were stranded had “access to heated tents, hot food and plenty of drinking water.”

The National Weather Service issued a flood watch Sunday for most of the state — though not in Utah’s eastern edge, which includes the Moab and San Juan County areas. The flood watch is set to remain in effect through Monday at 6 p.m. Mountain time.
