Baja Magic

If you ask long-distance athletes why they do it, you’re likely to get many different answers. For some, it’s a bucket-list sort of thing. Others might talk about the desire to find and then stretch their physical and mental limits. A few thrive on the challenge of going long hours and many miles solo. You might say that for Arthur Babcock it was a competitive nature from an early age, an invitation to join a desert racing team a few years ago and a personal loss that eventually led to his winning Pro Moto Ironman Class at the 2019 SCORE Baja 1000.
