2025 Cocodona 250 - Race Preview From the Phoenix spines to the Flagstaff pines.

Head over to my Substack to give my race preview for the Cocodona 250 a read! What an incredible field we’ll have all week, including Courtney Dauwalter battling for an overall win!

Allison Baca sets a new unsupported R2R2R Fastest Known Time, in 7:31:15!

This is only 6 minutes short of Taylor Nowlin’s overall supported FKT of 7:25:58, which still stands from November 2018.

Emily Hawgood and Marianne Hogan split Foresthill to Cal-2 almost exactly the same, Emily in 1:09:55, and Marianne 1:09:57.

For reference, Katie Schide did that section in 1:06:07 last year and Courtney Dauwalter did this section in 1:08:41 during 2023 States. #canyonsbyutmb

Francesco Puppi leads the 2025 Canyons 100k through Cal-2, in 4:51:14 elapsed.

Francesco split the Foresthill to Cal-2 section in 60m17s, faster than anyone in last years Canyons 100k race (Rod ran 62m36s) and faster than anyone in Western States history.

Shoutout to Matt Daniels on his new course record at the Behind the Rocks 50k, in 3:29:27, knocking nearly 12 minutes off Cole Campbell's 2024 mark!

Courtney Dauwalter sets a new course record at the historic Crown King Scramble 50k, with a time of 4:19:49, bettering Ida Nilsson's previous mark of 4:26:44 set in 2019. @AravaipaRunning

This one is going to stand for a LONG TIME.

Yes, him and Vincent

UTMB Chianti Castles Ultra Trail 120k

🥇Jim Walmsley 🇺🇸 9:59:48
🥈Kilian Jornet 🇪🇸 10:27:27
🥉Vincent Bouillard 🇫🇷 10:27:57

Jim waxes the field at Chianti Castles Ultra Trail, with a near 30-minute win over Kiki and Vincent, although Kilian was clearly working through some injury concerns for a good part of the race. What a race. Heal up Kilian! States is going to absolutely RIP. #utmbworldseries

This year’s Ultra Trail Chianti Castles 120k is the first time we’ve had three former UTMB Champions face off in a race since UTMB 2021, which featured Francois, Ludo and Xavier.

Prior to that, it would’ve been UTMB 2017, with Kilian, Francois and Xavier. #utmbworldseries

#utmbworldseries

Milan-San Remo (Tadej-MVDP-Pidcock-Ganna-Pederson), Milan-San Remo Donne (Kopecky-Vollering-Wiebes-Vos-Longo Borghini) and Chianti Ultra Trail (Kilian-Jim-Vincent).

What a weekend ahead for endurance racing.

Kilian confirmed IN for Chianti Castkes 120k this weekend! #utmbworldseries

A fun run is a strong possibility for Tomo; he's roughly in the same spot as he was in 2019 which resulted in a fun run as well #bm100

Dozens of runners have cleared the 36 hour mark with lots of time to spare, but it’s not listed in the data who went out for a fourth lap vs who retired after a Fun Run.

List of the top 10 fastest loop 3 completions in #BM100 history:

Andrew Thompson '09, 10:59:49
Andrew Thompson '05, 11:11:20
Jim Nelson '05, 11:11:46

2006 was the last time the Barkley Marathons had zero runners complete a Fun Run. #BM100

After multiple failed attempts, the conch was blown at 10:37. The 2025 Barkley Marathons begins in one hour. #BM100.

I could.

I’m chillin’

Don’t have that unfortunately, just final lottery data. I’ll check the web archive at some point to see if I can pull data that’s closer to lottery close
