"Even before I ever came to the U.S., I'd heard the legends of the White Rim Trail. It's not only an iconic mountain bike adventure, but also a route with a deep history of FKT attempts that I've followed throughout my career. It's incredibly special to see my name alongside, and ahead of, some amazing athletes. Next time, though, I'd like to slow things down a bit and take in the views."
"Jones rode his SCOTT Spark RC World Cup with a drop bar setup on the 100-mile route, finishing in a record-setting time of 5:23:27. This bested the previous FKT of 5:28:21, which was set by Keegan Swenson in March of 2021, by just under five minutes."
Cam Jones achieved a new Fastest Known Time on the White Rim Trail, completing the 100-mile route in 5:23:27 on March 31, 2026. This time surpassed the previous record of 5:28:21 set by Keegan Swenson in 2021. Jones's attempt was spontaneous, with minimal preparation, as he had only a phone call with Hannah Otto for strategy. He had not ridden most of the route before, making the achievement even more remarkable. Jones expressed pride in joining the ranks of legendary athletes associated with the trail.
