Robin Cummings takes the nonbinary title. Nine women enter the finish chute together. Cobe Freeburn edges Cameron Jones by a wheel width in a men's photo finish
A year after wildfires silenced Stillwater's marquee gravel event, The Mid South returned Friday with a new finish line and a new format — the first standalone pro race in the event's 14-year history, separated from the mass-start field and broadcast live on YouTube. Across 106.4 miles of Oklahoma red dirt, each of the three pro categories delivered a finish worth the wait.
Robin Cummings of Portland, Oregon, won the nonbinary race. Sofia Gomez Villafane of Midway, Utah, claimed the women's title in a nine-rider sprint for the ages. And Cobe Freeburn of Durango, Colorado, held off Cameron Jones by a wheel width to win the men's race in a photo finish.
