Jamie Alvord Breaks Flying Kilo Record in Ride for Team Arnav Foundation
The night’s most emotional and inspiring moment came as Jamie Alvord of Edge Cycling launched into the Flying Kilo Record Attempt—and delivered in spectacular fashion. Racing in honor of his former teammate Arnav Krishna, Alvord crossed the line in 1:01.3, shaving one-tenth of a second off the long-standing track record of 1:01.4 set by Travis Smith in 2005.
The ride raised awareness and support for the Team Arnav Foundation, which funds research and support for children battling pediatric osteosarcoma, the cancer that claimed Arnav’s life.
