The newly organized Boggy Draw Beat Down mountain bike races in Dolores attracted 163 racers Saturday, and set a new course record.<\/p>\n

Second place went to Raul Soto of Cortez, with a time of 59:37:36. Cash Garrett of Aztec came in third with a time of 1:02:18.<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s 13-miler, Kristin Camire of Durango crossed the finished line in 1:05:21, just four seconds ahead of Rebecca Flinders. Laura Mosser of Dolores was third.<\/p>\n

For the 60-mile endurance race, Guy Leshem of Durango came in first with a time of 4:08:50. Rotem Ishay came in second and Nathan Miller was in third.<\/p>\n

The Boggy Beat Down became a USA Cycling sanctioned race, meaning competitors can earn points towards national rankings. It utilizes trails on the San Juan National Forest with views overlooking McPhee Reservoir.<\/p>\n

This year the race became independent from its previous time slot during Escalante Days to allow for room to grow.<\/p>\n

The annual race is a fundraiser for the Dolores Rotary Club. About $10,000 was raised, said race organizer and rotarian Susan Lisak. The money is donated back to the community for a variety of causes, including scholarships for students.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was good to see everyone out. It was a little smokey, but everything went smoothly and people had a good time,\u201d Lisak said.<\/p>\n

In a fun twist to not forget the back of the pack, a $100 prize donated by Rustic Style furniture was awarded to the second to last rider in the 13-mile race, who was the father of a family riding together.<\/p>\n

The race is organized by the Dolores Rotary, Dolores Chamber of Commerce, Town of Dolores, Southwest Colorado Cycling Association, and Kokopelli Bike and Board.<\/p>\n
