Hans Gatt, a three-time Quest champ, took the halfway prize gold Wednesday night by throwing down an impressive run between the last checkpoint at Eagle and Dawson. He covered the 150-mile stretch in 22 hours 41 minutes, a likely but unconfirmed record. Four-time past Quest winner Lance Mackey, and last year’s runner-up Hugh Neff trailed Gatt into Dawson by 3 hours. Zack Steer and Ken Anderson were another three hours behind. Mackey says he isn’t shaken by Gatt’s bold run into Dawson and midway point lead.
