Roes, who runs for Team Montrail, earned $3,500 -- $2,500 for being the first runner to finish in less than 24 hours and $1,000 for placing first among men.
Roes told Presidio Sports, an online site, that while winds provided a cooling effect during the daylight hours of the race, they also buffeted him hard.
"There were definitely times you were leaning sideways,'' he said.
Roes last summer won the grueling Western States 100, which draws many of the nation's best ultrarunners, in course-record time. He is scheduled to defend his title in that race in June and also has Crow Pass on his docket in July. Roes last year at Crow Pass covered the race of appoximately 24 miles in 2:54:44 to slash more than two minutes off his 2009 race record (2:57:12).
Roes' victory over the weekend marked his third win in 2011.
Two weeks ago, he won the Zane Grey 50-Miler in Arizona and in March he won the Chuckanut 50-kilometer (31-mile) in Bellingham, Wash.
