Will another top performance in the next few weeks help her move into the top slot? She’s registered for the Tunnel Hill 50-miler this weekend and the Desert Solstice 24-hour race in December. In April, she won the Centurion Track 100k in Great Britain, won Strolling Jim 40-miler and set a new course record in May, and had an eighth-place finish at Western States in June. The 2021 UROY runner-up, Camille Herron, began her year by breaking her own 100-mile World Record and winning the USATF 100-mile Championship at the Jackpot Ultras in February.

Will she extend her streak to five straight UROY titles? She started off the year by winning the Running Up For Air Grandeur Peak Challenge 12-hour in February, followed up with a Madeira Island Ultra Trail 115k win and course record in April, a Hardrock 100 Endurance Run win and course record in July, Rough Canyon Trail Runs 50k win in early October and to cap it off, a Grand Raid La Reunion Diagonale des Fous 170k win and new course record at the end of last month. Let’s start off with the women.įour-time consecutive UltraRunner of the Year Courtney Dauwalter has had another incredible season. 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.
