In 2022, Miron Golfman has proved himself as a force to be reckoned with in the ultra-endurance scene after setting an impressive FKT on the Baja Divide route. Following that up later that same spring, the 32-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska, took first place at the 1,000-mile Iditarod Trail Invitational (ITI) and then won the Colorado Trail Race during his rookie attempt a few months later, proving he could handle himself in a wide range of climates and conditions. More recently, Miron moved to Europe with his partner to tackle the Mountain Race series (Hellenic, Silk Road, and Atlas), snagging third place at this year’s Silk Road Mountain Race and 12th overall at the Atlas Mountain Race.
The day before this year’s Arizona Trail Race grand depart, Miron posted on Instagram explaining that he was looking forward to some mountain biking in the desert, and that he hoped to cap off the year with some “gold ol’ fashion fun.” It sounds like he got what he wished for and took full advantage of the cooler temps this year for a first-place finish at the Arizona Trail Race 300. Miron’s final time was 2 days, 8 hours, and race organizer John Schilling was there to greet him at the Picketpost trailhead this afternoon.
Trackleaders shows only nine hours of stopped time, which includes a few hours of rest shortly after midnight on the first day and a 20-minute nap on his final evening—confirmed in an Instagram story he posted. Timon Fish’s blisteringly fast time of 38h 52m (1d 14h 52m) set in the spring 2021 still stands as the record.
Chase Kaufman is positioned to finish in second place, and he’s followed by Rocky Gingg and Will Bodewes, who are riding neck in neck. Alex Schultz is currently in first place for the AZT800, trailing just behind Rocky and Will. He has a sizeable lead on the rest of the 800 riders, but as we know, there’s a lot of challenging Arizona singletrack between him and the finish some 500 miles away.
