Hannah Simon, Bikepacking Triple Crown Completed ✔️

For the final episode in this series, we catch up with Hannah Simon after finishing 3rd at the Arizona Trail Race last month. The AZT was the last race in a three race series dubbed the Bikepacking Triple Crown. Prior to that she tied for 3rd at Tour Divide in June, followed by a 6th place finish at the Colorado Trail Race in August.
The Triple Crown is the hardest and most prestigious accomplishment that our sport has to offer. By completing the Triple Crown, Hannah became one of only 6 women to have ever completed this challenge. Not only that, but her time was good enough to have the record for the 3rd fastest female, and she beat the previous FKT by 28 minutes, a record that stood since 2015.
Hannah's Triple Crown, by the numbers:
Tour Divide
3rd Place (tied)
2,745 miles
18d 11h
Colorado Trail Race
6th Place
530 miles
6d 8h
Arizona Trail Race
3rd Place
800 miles
11d 11h
In total Hannah would ride 4,075 miles in 36d 6h, making her the 3rd fastest female to every complete the Bikepacking Triple Crown.

Hannah! I really enjoyed listening to your post-AZT/triple crown interview. The favorite comment I heard from a hiker I met when I was following you in the Canyon was, "She looked STRONG and was moving like a horse to water!" Yes, I'm certain they were thinking I looked quite weak in comparison. 😂 I really enjoyed the moments I was able to share with you out there - thanks for pushing me! Here's hoping we cross treads again in the future 🍻
PS You just finished the f'ing triple crown. Tell those cheapos to get you something better than Miller Lite!
