Kirkland wins 24 Hours of Moab

The eleventh annual 24 Hours of Moab saw a few upsets to pre-race predictions and witnessed the emergence of new contenders in the men's and women's solo category.


24 Hours of Moab Women's Solo winner, SCOTT athlete Jari Kirkland, rode a tidy race to step easily on top of the podium. As a seasoned adventure racer, Kirkland clearly possessed the mental toughness to finish her first ever solo 24-hour race.   Her crew, captained by veteran soloist Jon Brown, plus family members following the race from a distance, provided the right amount of support to help Kirkland win the race. She completed 14 laps or, 210 miles with 19,040 feet of climbing, in 23:32:32.   We congratulate Jari and wish her the best in 2009.
