This year's Black Canyon 100k was one for the trail running history books, with course records crashing down all over the place on the Arizona course over the weekend.
The race, which traverses the desert on the Black Canyon Trail from the town of Mayer to Phoenix, is the only US event in the World Trail Major Series. Competitors enjoyed near-perfect conditions with temperatures hovering steadily at around 60 degrees and that seems to be the sweet spot for Riley Brady, who dominated the second half of the women's race to come in at eight hours 16 minutes and 18 seconds.
