The Western States 100 is not only known for its rugged beauty and competitive spirit but also for the wealth of data maintained by its organizers. With 20 aid stations and around 1,500 dedicated volunteers who support athletes with hydration and medical aid, the race exemplifies community effort and logistical challenges. Additionally, a unique aspect is the recognition of those who've finished both the 100-mile race and the Tevis Cup, a feat achieved by only 90 individuals as of 2025, highlighting a storied history between the two events.
As a world-class production with excellent attention to detail and exciting live coverage, those of us following the race from afar can be prone to forgetting that race organizers are participating in their own impressive endurance event.
Western States honors individuals who have completed both the Western States 100 running race and the Western States Trail Ride endurance ride for horses and humans, also known as the Tevis Cup, on a page of its website.
