Josiah Middaugh is the greatest off-roader in U.S. history and is now 20+ years into his career and still hungry to win. His nickname, “Mid-Awesome,” is a testament to his illustrious career which includes the title of 2015 XTERRA Champion, Ten-time GMC Ultimate Mountain Challenge champion and World Fat Bike Champion. In 2018, Middaugh claimed second place at Costa Rica’s notoriously difficult La Ruta stage race. Fresh off his 19th XTERRA competition in Maui in October 2019, Middaugh was the top American finisher and 6th overall. Middaugh credits his upbringing, which included an enthusiasm for the outdoors and an athletic family ethic, for his success as an endurance athlete. He and his brother Yaro operate Middaugh Coaching in Eagle County Colorado where they provide training to all levels of athletes in numerous endurance sports.
