Beaver Creek, CO – July 16, 2016: Current XTERRA World Champion Josiah Middaugh once again won the Mountain Championship on his hometown course, fighting off 20-year-old Sam Long of Boulder to defend his title by a margin of 30 seconds. Middaugh finished with an overall time of 2:10:05 to Long’s 2:10:35. Rom Akerson finished third (2:12:20) followed by Ben Hoffman in fourth (2:13:30) and Leon Griffin in fifth (2:14:23). Rounding out the top ten for the pro men in a deep field of 21 athletes were Branden Rakita, Greg Bennett, Brad Zoller, Mario de Elias, and Brian Smith.

In the women’s race, Julie Baker ran away with the title in a time of 2:38:54. Suzanne Snyder took the second spot in 2:40:47, and Boulder’s Maia Ignatz claimed the final podium spot in 2:42:36.
