Central Oregon Community College will host the 26th annual Storm the Stairs run. It will be held at the Mazama Track at COCC on the Bend Campus on Thursday, June 2, at 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. 

The Storm the Stairs run is a two-mile, 465 stairs, run or walk that will take participants all over campus including through buildings. This run is supposed to be a fun event closing the end of another school year. The run is made for those with any level of athletic ability, and can be a very joyous time to enjoy the scenery that the college offers, states COCC’s website. 

“[The Storm the Stairs run] was started by Doug Booster, who used to be an instructor in the Health and Human Performance department. It was started 26 years ago,” said Joshua Motenko, assistant director of club and intramural sports.

This event is free for students, student ID required, and is $15 for anyone else wanting to participate, plus a $3.46 processing fee per registration. 

There will be food at this event, and a prize drawing following the race. Those who register will receive a confirmation email containing a link to get a free t-shirt.
