Arizona Monster 300 — Elite Men’s Update

Every time we check the tracker today, these guys have swapped positions! The men’s race has been nonstop action—one nap, one surge, and the whole leaderboard shifts. In a race this tight, it doesn’t take much to gain or lose ground.

On Day 3, tspike2 Taylor Spike led much of the morning, but the_big_glitch Joshua Locke closed the gap and briefly took the lead. Meanwhile, pjmortimer has stayed consistently in the top three and now leads the race at mile 212.8. Taylor and Josh are right behind him at 212.4.

As for Ryan Snickles, who started in Wave 2 (12pm), he’s absolutely crushing it—even though he didn’t start in the competitive 2pm wave. He’s leading on the tracker right now, but only Wave 4 (2pm start, bibs 100–199) is eligible for podium awards, as outlined in our race emails and rules. All other waves have time added depending on when they started since they began before the official race start. Earlier waves had the advantage of more time toward the cut off, an advantage we hoped to give to the back of the pack runners. 

Just a heads up for online viewers: Wave 1 (11am), Wave 2 (12pm), and Wave 3 (1pm) all started ahead of the elite wave by 1–3 hours, which affects the leaderboard visuals you’re seeing.
