Multiple Golden Ticket winners emerged at the Black Canyon 100k as new course records and tight duels produced fast finishes and Western States 100 entries.
Hans Troyer and Jennifer Lichter won big at the 2026 Black Canyon 100k in Arizona, and both scored new course records. Troyer finished in 7:20:00, and Lichter clocked 7:57 for the point-to-point run. For Troyer, it was a full-circle moment. He was hospitalized after the 2024 race and then missed last year's contest with illness. Lichter stepped up in distance and, with a new coach and new sponsor, hit a home run.
