Justin Morris (Mad Dog)

Justin Morris never saw his Type 1 diabetes diagnosis as a stop sign—just another hill to climb. Diagnosed at 10, he found freedom and focus on two wheels. What started as a way to manage his blood sugar quickly grew into something bigger—a deep love for the sport that would take him across disciplines and around the world.

By 18, he’d signed his first pro contract. In 2011, he took on the legendary Crocodile Trophy, one of the toughest MTB stage races out there, and finished fifth overall. A few years later, he crossed the Simpson Desert and won one of the world’s harshest fat bike races. From the Tour of East Timor to the MTB Marathon World Championships, Justin’s story is about more than results—it’s about resilience, grit, and refusing to let anything hold you back.
