Courtney Dauwalter
Courtney Dauwalter has won the sport's three most prestigious 100-mile races — Western States, the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and the Hardrock 100 — all in the same calendar year on multiple occasions, an achievement widely regarded as one of the most dominant single-season stretches in ultrarunning history. Her victory at the 2017 Moab 240, in which she finished first overall by more than ten hours ahead of the second-place male finisher, became one of the sport's most widely discussed results and helped establish her broader reputation for a competitive toughness that transcended typical gender-based race performance gaps. Dauwalter's sustained dominance across wildly varying terrain and distances, from technical mountain courses to flatter, faster desert races, reflected an unusually complete skill set relative to ultrarunners who typically specialize in one specific type of course. Her combination of her unprecedented same-season sweep of the sport's three biggest 100-mile races and her genre-defining overall victories against male competitors has made Dauwalter widely regarded as the greatest ultrarunner competing today.
VS
Kilian Jornet
Kilian Jornet has won nearly every major mountain and ultra-distance trail race in the world multiple times, including a record number of victories at both the Hardrock 100 and the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, establishing him as the dominant mountain ultrarunner of his generation. His combination of elite ultra-distance running ability with genuine high-altitude mountaineering skill, including record-setting speed ascents of Denali, Mont Blanc, and Everest without supplemental oxygen, gave him a range of extreme-endurance achievement unmatched by runners focused purely on trail racing. Jornet's Kilian Jornet Foundation, focused on mountain conservation and youth outdoor education, extended his influence on the sport well beyond his own competitive results, reflecting a broader mountain-athlete identity distinct from purely race-focused ultrarunners. His combination of his unmatched mountain ultra-race record and his extreme high-altitude mountaineering speed records has made Jornet widely regarded as the greatest mountain ultrarunner in the sport's history.
