Brunner beat fellow Boulder rider Scott Funston and Gage Hecht. Fellow Americans Lance Haidet and Curtis White completed the top- five.
Brunner opened a seven-second gap on the opening lap of the eight-lap race and was then consistently faster as he dominated the different obstacles of the course.
He finished with a final lap time of 7:52, to win ahead of Funston by almost two minutes. Funston finished 17 seconds ahead of Hecht to secure the silver medal.
