Aimee’s Triple Crown of 200’s chase may have ended at the hands of Mother Nature here at the Moab 240, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t an epic adventure pushing the body, mind, and soul to 203 miles. Hear her initial post race thoughts here 🗣️

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️Moab 240 Top Runner Update Night 2🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

WOW that went by fast — our top runners should finish sometime tomorrow/tomorrow night!

First up is Aaron Kubala (@aaronkubala), who’s still in first place! He’s currently at mile 174.1, and has started the ascent up to Geyser Pass, the second big climb in the course. He looked in fantastic shape every time we saw him today!

Ashley Paulson (@ashkickn) is still holding strong in second place overall, and it’s looking like she just might be the first female to finish! She’s at mile 163.8 and making her way to Rd. 46.

Benn Coubrough (@bennycoubs_ultrarunner) is third overall and our second place male! He’s at mile 147 and holding a steady pace.

Brogan MacDougall (@brogansunemploymentworldtour) is in fourth overall and our second female at mile 144.2. Not far behind is Tyler Morales, who’s moved up to fifth overall and our current third place male. And not far behind him is Aimee Warnke, at mile 142.5. All runners will likely start the climb up to Geyser Pass tonight! Luckily the rain has let up a tad — let’s hope it stays that way!

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️Moab 240 Top Runner Update: Day 2🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

WOW how the tables have turned since we last checked in!

Aaron Kubala (@aaronkubala) has moved into first place, with a pretty massive gap between him and everyone else. He’s currently at mile 138.6 and approaching the Dry Valley AS! He was looking great when we saw him at Monticello Lake AS earlier this morning — you’d never have know he just ran all night (without stopping!).

Ashley Paulson (@ashkickn) has moved into second overall and is our current first place female, and she is CRUSHING IT. After a fall at Bigfoot that injured her back and took her out of the top 3, it’s great to see her absolutely killing it this race. She may very well win this thing!

Brogan MacDougall (@brogansunemploymentworldtour) is now in third place overall, and our second female at mile 119.3. She’s moving quickly though — when we saw her earlier, she was behind our second and third place male runners, but has since passed them both!

Benn Coubrough (@bennycoubs_ultrarunner), who came in second last year, is now in second AGAIN! He is currently fourth overall but we could see him move up — he really sped up overnight and is just behind Brogan at mile 118.4! He came all the way from Australia and this is only his second time at Moab, and second time doing a 200!

Beat Karrer from Switzerland is our third place male, and is right behind Benn at mile 118.1. It might be a pretty close fight to the finish for these two!

Aimee Warnke (@adubs.runs) is our third place female, currently at mile 116.1. She’s not too far behind Brogan, and has proved herself to be a strong competitor after winning Bigfoot — we’ll see what happens later today!

All top runners have made it over Shay Mountain, the first big climb of the race. Their treat? They’ll be enjoying some downhill/flat sections before the next big climb up to Geyser Pass, where they’ll be ascending 8,362 feet in just over 30 miles. That’s a heck of a lot of elevation gain!

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️Moab 240 Top Runner Update: Night 1 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Aaron Kubala (@aaronkubala) has JUST taken the lead over Brogan MacDougall (@brogansunemploymentworldtour) — but they’re practically next to each other, with Aaron at mile 87.5 and Brogan at mile 87.4. We’ll see if Aaron keeps the lead!

Ashley Paulson (@ashkickn) is our second female and third overall, currently at mile 85.8. There’s a pretty big gap between her and our third female and fourth overall (the women are CRUSHING this race), Aimee Warnke (@adubs.runs), who is at mile 79 and approaching The Island Aid Station.

Our second male and fifth overall, Tyler Morales, isn’t far behind at mile 77.7, and our third male and sixth overall, Beat Karrer, is catching up at mile 77.2.

Whew this is gonna be a nail biter! However, these runners are going to face one of the most difficult climbs of this race up to Shay Mountain tonight. Runners will ascend 4,228 feet in just under 18 miles, which could drastically change the current standings.

We’ll be back with another update tomorrow morning — we can’t wait to see what happens overnight!

Yesterday at check in, we chatted with @adubs.runs about her mentality for the Moab 240 — it revolves around some pretty tough stuff she’s been dealing with lately. However, her positive outlook is so inspiring and, currently our third place female at mile 47.1, it’s safe to say she’s crushing it out there!

🏃‍♀️Moab 240 Top Women Runner Update: Day 1🏃‍♀️

The top women are a little more spread out than our top men! Brogan MacDougall (@brogansunemploymentworldtour), from Alberta, is currently in first at mile 45.8, and second overall. She’s overtaken Aaron Kubala, who is now second male and third overall! She’s right behind the first male, Tyler Morales, who is barely in the lead at mile 45.9. She is cookin’ out there (literally and figuratively — it’s HOT)! We may even see her take first!

Our second female is Ashley Paulson (@ashkickn), from Utah, who is currently at mile 42.5. She’s not too far behind and seventh overall — not a bad place to be!

Aimee Warnke, from Texas, is third at mile 40.7. There’s still just over 200 miles left — so much can change next time we check in!

It’s supposed to be pretty dang hot the rest of the day — mid-80’s — but drop to the low 60’s later tonight, which should be a welcome respite from the heat. Tomorrow could bring some stormy weather — we’ll see how it all shakes out!

Tomorrow, Team Injinji Athletes Aimee Warnke and Kelsey McGill take on the Moab 240.

Covering 241.8 miles with nearly 32,000 feet of elevation change, the Moab 240 is one of the world’s toughest ultramarathons. Winding through Utah’s remote desert landscapes, canyons, slickrock and mountain ranges, this multiday adventure pushes runners to their physical and mental limits.

Best of luck, Aimee and Kelsey! Wishing you and all runners a strong race and an incredible journey across the Moab backcountry!

Next week I’ll be lining up at the Moab 240, the final race of the Triple Crown of 200s.

And I’m not just going there to finish.

I’m going after the Triple Crown course record 🏆

240 miles through the desert.
One of the hardest races in the world.
And one massive goal.

But this race is about more than a course record.

By the time I cross the finish line, I’m hoping to raise $35,000 for CHRISTUS Children’s Cancer Center.

This cause is incredibly personal to me. I’ve seen firsthand how devastating cancer can be, and how much the doctors, nurses, researchers, and families at CHRISTUS Children’s Cancer Center fight every single day.

So I’m asking you to help me turn 240 miles into something bigger.

If you’re willing, donate.
If you can’t donate, share this post.
And if you want to follow along, buckle up.

Because the goal is simple:

Run 240 miles.
Chase the course record.
Raise $35,000.
Make every mile count.

Let’s see how much good we can make out of 240 miles❤️
