The T2 Kinabalu and Race Rocker Take Top Spots on Podium
Summer race season has just begun, and SCOTT is topping podiums all over the globe. From Tokyo to both sides of the United States, the T2 Kinabalu and Race Rocker took first place finishes with SCOTT's elite athletes Meghan Arbogast, Sage Canaday and Joseph Gray. In addition to scoring rave reviews in TrailRunner Magazine for the T2 Kinabalu, the only question remaining is, what podium will these all-stars top next?

Meghan Arbogast, fast footed in her Race Rockers, tied for 1st place at the inaugural Tokyo Shibamata 100k course on Saturday, June 1. Flanked by good friend Amy Sproston, Meghan took the 100k course by storm, crossing the finish line in 7 hours and 50 minutes. In what Meghan considers one of the most mentally challenging and most difficult of all the long distance races she runs, Meghan raced her 3rd fastest time at the 100k distance. Next up for Meghan, she'll head to northern California to compete in her 7th Western States 100 Miler.
