In Racing Arizona, a new film from Revel Bikes, Elizabeth Sampey revisits the Arizona Trail two years after setting the fastest known time and reflects on what the race meant to her. Watch it here alongside a photoset from the project…

On April 27, 2019, Elizabeth Sampey rolled across the Utah state line and into the record books, becoming the fastest woman ever to complete the 750-mile Arizona Trail Race. Liz finished this rugged route in 9 days, 11 hours, and 44 minutes, which included the arduous bike-carry through the Grand Canyon. Two years after setting the record, Liz revisits the AZT in Racing Arizona, a film by James Q. Martin and Revel Bikes that paints a portrait of Liz as a person and shines light on her process for moving quickly and efficiently through the backcountry.
