Kostelnick and Piceu named #9 2016 UltraRunners of the Year

Pete Kostelnick

Pete Kostelnick checks in as the number 9 runner of the year. Kostelnick, a financial analyst from Lincoln, Nebraska, won the Badwater 135 Mile in July after a sub-20 hour finish at Western States three weeks earlier. He set a new record for running across the country, running from San Francisco to New York City in 42 days, six hours and 30 minutes. Though not officially a part of the voting (only actual races are included in the voting data), the superb effort was no doubt influential in many voters thinking.

Darcy Piceu

Darcy Piceu is ranked ninth in the women’s voting. Interestingly, she was also ninth last year. A school therapist by profession, Piceu won the Bigfoot 120 Mile and the Wasatch Front 100 Mile in Utah just a month apart. She also won the Jemez Mountain 50 Mile. Piceu lives in Boulder, Colorado with her 8-year-old daughter Sophia.
