Otto podiums at Megeve MTB Marathon World Cup
Hannah Otto, currently sitting in 2nd place in the Life Time Grand Prix presented by Mazda, fittingly captured 2nd place after nearly 7hrs of tough MTB’ing in the French Alps. No stranger to the podium in the Marathon World Cup Series after her win last year at Snowshoe, Otto remains on a roll after strong finishes at the Sea Otter Classic and UNBOUND, 3rd and 5th place respectively. With Crusher in the Tushar and Leadville coming soon, she’s positioned herself well in this years overall battle.
Run or Ride, Jackson does it all!
Heather Jackson (currently 12th overall) traded stressing over tire choices for running shoes but keeps endurance event nutrition top of mind as she powered to 7th at Western States 100 in a time of 17hrs, 16mins and 42 seconds. Widely regarded as one of the most versatile athletes in the endurance run and cycling worlds, she continues to amaze, following up a win at Javelina Jundred last fall to a front pack sprint of 9 women at UNBOUND Gravel barely a month ago. Jackson is truly charting her own course each event she lines up for 👏
