Mario Mendoza (Bend, OR – Nike Trail Team) and Megan Kimmel (Silverton, CO – Asics) won the Moab Trail Marathon & USATF Marathon Trail Championships this morning in the beautiful canyon lands outside Moab, Utah. Seeking a course record, Megan went out fast and was never challenged by 2nd place finisher Stevie Kremer (Crested Butte, CO – Salomon Running). On the men’s side, Joe Gray battled early with Mario Mendoza and Arthur Degraw followed a few minutes back by a pack of quick men including Josh Arthur, JP Donovan, 18 year old Tayte Pollmann, Timmy Parr and Josh Eberly. In the final few miles it was a battle between Mario and Joe with Mario pulling away for the win.
