The 2025 Western States 100 women's race showcases fierce competition as reigning champion Katie Schide and course record holder Courtney Dauwalter are absent. This opens opportunities for top contenders like Fu-Zhao Xiang, who had the second fastest time in 2024, and two-time third-place finisher Eszter Csillag. Other notable entrants include 2022's third-place winner Marianne Hogan and Black Canyon 100k record holder Riley Brady, along with several new challengers. The start list promises an exciting battle for the top positions as this prestigious race unfolds on June 28.
This year's absence of reigning champion Katie Schide and course record holder Courtney Dauwalter means that the race for first place is wide open.
China's Fu-Zhao Xiang is the top returning runner from last year's race, where she placed second in the third fastest women's time on record.
