News and Notes

Continuing on the heels of our summary of what last year’s women UltraRunners of the Year have been up to in 2022, below we check in with the 2021 list of men who cracked the top 10 UltraRunners of the Year.

Welcome to the Ultra Weekend Recap where fast times prevailed at Tunnel Hill despite blustery conditions, we saw the third-fastest 2022 finish in a 50-miler, Mt. Tamalpais had a swift win and more, from Wednesday’s What’s Up In Ultra. Thanks for your help in advance by helping us locate even more results from around North American and adding a comment and link below. 

With just a handful of key ultras left in 2022—Tunnel Hill 50/100m, the 60th Annual JFK 50, the 39th Annual Quad Dipsea and Desert Solstice 24-Hour and 100-Mile Track Invitational, to name a few—we wanted to check in with both the women’s and men’s top 10 from last year. Let’s start off with the women.

November’s inaugural Ultra Weekend Recap saw a new course record at Rio Del Lago, a throwdown in the final miles at the Austin Rattler and more from our Wednesday’s What’s Up In Ultra. Please add links and updates below with race results we may have missed.

Welcome to November on our North American UltraRunning Calendar. In a month when you might think ultrarunners start looking toward more traditional winter activities, this is actually a deep weekend—to the tune of 58 races. There’s a classic 100-miler in Northern California on a portion of the Western States course, a point-to-point and rugged 100-miler in Alabama, 25 spots up for grabs at the 2023 Leadville 100 in the Lone Star State, and so many more we can’t possibly cover them all here.

We had a big weekend down in the desert for our final Ultra Weekend Recap of October at the first North American 2023 Western States Golden Ticket Race, a second year event the San Jacinto 50k, the Chicago Lakefront 50/50 and more races from our What’s Up In Ultra than we can keep track of. Incredibly, all of the below events had at least one course record set. Feel free to add comments and links to other race results below.
