If last year’s Land Run 100 gravel race was the “Fast AF Year,” there is a good chance the 2019 edition will be dubbed the “Fast AF AF Year.”

In 2018, Amanda Nauman (SDG – Muscle Monster) won the Women’s race with an average speed of 17.8 mph and Mat Stephens (Panaracer / Factor p/b Bicycle X-Change) won the Men’s race with an average speed of 19.8 mph.

On Saturday on the Red Bed Plains outside Stillwater Oklahoma, those average speeds were up to 18.6 and 20.4 mph for the Women and Men, respectively. In other words, very fast.

The Women’s win went to Nina Laughlin of North Carolina, who finished seven minutes ahead of second place. Kae Takeshita (Panaracer / Factor p/b Bicycle X-Change) edged out Amy Charity (SBT GRVL) in the battle for second. Amity Rockwell (Easton Overland Gravel Team) finished fourth and Lauren De Crescenzo (DNA Professional Cycling Team) fifth.

The Men’s race came down to a battle of three. Payson McElveen took the win, with Ted King (Cannondale / SRAM / Velocio / UnTapped) finishing second and Drew Dillman (SDG – Muscle Monster) third. Brandon Melott (DNA Racing / Allied Cycleworks) took fourth and Thomas Humphreys (Foundation CCB) fifth.

Top 50 results for the Women and Men’s 100-mile race are below. Full results for all races are available here.
