Cory Smith conquered the rain, wind and a long difficult course – about 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) that included 3,400 feet of elevation gain – in the Chugach Mountains on Sunday to capture the Arctic Orienteering Club's Mountain Goat Race.
Smith clocked 3 hours, 50 minutes, 37 seconds to top Patrick Stinson (4:15:38). Brent Knight and Harlow Robinson teamed up after Knight lost his map – and overcame losing their way in the clouds – to grab third place in 4:31:38.
