The John Hathaway Award

The John Hathaway Award, also known as the Iron Butt Award, is presented annually to the rider who cycles the most kilometers. Although this award is not specifically for the Fleche or Trace events, it provided a wonderful opportunity to present the award to last year’s winner, Bob Goodison.
