- Back in 2007, Gregg Godfrey claimed the world record for the longest and fastest Iron manned run in the Baja 1000 race. Iron manned meaning that he didn't ever through the 1300 mile course change riders or bikes. He ran it start to finish on one bike, solo, in less than 42 hours. We are posting this in commemoration of his achievement that still stands today as the current world record. Along with this video we are also currently giving away a tribute bike similar to the one Gregg raced at:

Good race. He beat my team of 4 by a couple hours. We had a broken arm and took 12 hours to get into him on the race course. Bike was mangled and had no head lights but we finished. 46 hours for our time! Great job!
Congrats to you and your team!
I thought only 3 people completed it?
"I know how to read the terrain, Sylvon.", Gregg Godfrey circa 1997 below Factory Butte at Swingarm City, Utah. A.K.A., Cainville. Gregg was an accomplished desert racer in his youth and it comes as no surprise to me that he did so well! Congratulations Gregg!
I raced Baja for a number of years and I tip my hat to anyone that rides the whole 1000 on a bike. I was at this race in a Class 1 car. However, the title of this video is deceiving. This is no "World Record". The course is different every year.
Great Race! Congratulations on your finishes.
Way to have fun Godfrey Team!
Pastrana should have been on ol trusted Honda 650r,just ask Campbell or hengenfeld.
Go Big Red Pig
@@davidkris true that.
He couldn’t at the time. He was under suzuki contract. Now last I heard he was with ktm. But that may be over now
One of the better things I’ve ever saw on CZcams! Awesome run!!
Dude, check out the Into the Dust movies here on CZcams. There's 4 of them. About 100x more in depth than this one.
Travis, what were you thinking, XR650R all the way dude!
He’s a Sazuki man but an xr would’ve survived the whole race and been good enough to ride back home
We raced that race... with 5 guys!! I mean, what they tried to accomplish is just insane.
All the pre-run issues and prep is typical for most. Even the most professional have those kinds of issues.
I laughed at the pre-run with no lights, it's a great way to prep for the race as you can lose your lights at some point. Just par for course and how luck plays part in so many miles. I loved the lack of knowledge for the GPS ... like your going to be able to see the screen anyway. The course is never marked well enough, and when your seeing double in the dust with campfires and Trophy Truck lights coming from behind... it's just like being on another planet. Super weird feeling. Something you just can't describe.
The "meal plan" was another that seems to always be an issue. Nothing wrong with tacos... until, your body revolts at 80+ mph. I mean... I've been there, and it's not fun. All I had on me during a pre-run were rain-x wipes. Oh boy... infused with alcohol. Sphincter and alcohol is no bueno.
Hats off to Greg for that ride. Travis too. But to finish... is just a monumental moment.
We raced Class 22, and came in 4th bike in our class. At 29:30:35 (29.5hrs). My section, only being 320 miles and I had some issues in that short of a span. Man, I'm just amazed at what they accomplished that year. Thinking Travis was on par to make the finish about the time we did if his bike hadn't of died. JUST AMAZING.

Awesome vid
This has inspired me. I too want to iron man the baja 1000. Probably within the next 8 years
Awesome!
Greg is my hero
Didn't Mouse McCoy Do It In, 'From Dust To Glory'? Thank You.
Crazy
Can somebody explain the duct tape methodology and theory behind it? Blister prevention? Extra support? Crash protection? Are people still doing this today? Or is there better glove tech nowadays?
Great ride Greg...you all have Huavo’s...
What bike was travis riding? An rmz450?
DRZ400
I’ve had a few DRZs great bikes but not for this an XR is ten times more rugged and dependable I get he’s a Suzuki guy but even a DR650 would have been better than that.
Is that a DRZ400?
I woulda been eating crickets and cacti lol
The duct tape to support the wrist?
Nope, on the hands for blistering and on the wrists to prevent chaffing from the jersey flapping in the wind!
That wasn’t the longest it has been check the mileage for the 2000 Baja it was longer.
2007… way old
drz 400 ?
Why did he tape his hands?
To protect his hands from getting even worse blisters.
Sorry guys already been done ten years ago. Mouse mcCoy!

Mouse did iron man it but gregg was the longest iron man run to date. Point to point, over 1300 miles🤘
Booby traps and 30 hours or more..
typical american sport where money largely determines who succeeds
