The Kick Rocks trail 100-mile ranking is a form board, not a lifetime achievement award. Vincent Bouillard is now #1 on it.
A UTMB title plus a Western States course record is the cleanest two-race résumé the men's side has had since Walmsley was breaking the same race in 2019. Puppi moves to #2 on the strength of a second place that would have been a record in any other year. Jornet slides to #4 — the ranking is allergic to DNFs, even mythical ones.
Women's 100-mile: Dauwalter, Lichter, Schide. That order is an argument, not a fact of nature. Lichter has the fastest 100 miles of 2026. Dauwalter has Hardrock, the 2023 triple, and the version of this sport that starts when the race stops being pretty. We kept her #1 overall. If she wins UTMB it will look obvious. If Lichter wins it we will have a fight on the next board.
