Awards

2026 Midseason Top 20

Published 17 August, seven days before UTMB. Editorial. Format-blind on purpose — backyard world records sit next to 100-mile monuments. The year-end twenty will be a different fight.

1

Courtney Dauwalter🇺🇸Leadville, Colorado

Hardrock four-for-four and a clockwise record. Still the world #1.

2

Vincent Bouillard🇫🇷Annecy, France

UTMB champion plus a 13:46 Western States. The new men's ceiling.

3

Jenn Lichter🇺🇸United States

Two course records before July. The form horse of 2026.

4

Rachel Entrekin🇺🇸United States

Outright Cocodona 250 in 56:09. Redrew the expedition format.
