Category	Name	Result
Men	Joshua Lecrone	12:52:32
Women	Janessa Taylor	14:59:21

193 of 239 starters finished.

Both winning times are now the fastest UltraSignup lists for the race, ahead of Patrick Reagan's 13:33:54 (2020) and Amy Watson's 15:23:30 (2021). The organizer had announced a one-time 2026 reroute around the unrepaired Straight Branch trestle, so they may not be directly comparable with earlier editions. UltraSignup lists the other 46 entrants as did not finish and none as non-starters.

The rail-trail surface is more runnable than a technical mountain 100, but continuous forward motion and repetitive loading remain central.

Why This Race Matters

OG Yeti 100 Mile Endurance Run is a useful reference point for runners comparing long fixed-distance ultras where most of the field runs through the night. Its format, terrain, and support model shape the kind of preparation required: not just fitness, but pacing discipline, nutrition planning, foot care, and the ability to make good decisions under fatigue.

Preparing for a Race Like OG Yeti 100 Mile Endurance Run

The 100-mile race guide covers the format as a whole. These guides go deeper:

Walking strategy for ultramarathons: When and how to walk by terrain, effort and cutoffs.
Crew and aid-station strategy: Crew tables, aid stops, drop bags and runner preferences.
Gut training for ultrarunners: A six-week practice sequence for race-day fueling.
Tapering for ultramarathons: Plan the taper and race week around your own recovery.

Planning Notes

Treat intermediate cutoff gates as part of the course. Build enough margin for aid stops and late-race slowdown, and verify every current gate in the official rules.
Train for terrain-specific fatigue. Technical trails and mountain courses demand downhill durability, hiking efficiency, and reliable night lighting.
The directory does not mark this as having simpler logistics. Confirm qualification, terrain, support, registration, medical, and withdrawal requirements before planning around it.

Why is the 2026 OG Yeti course different?

The organizer added a temporary course adjustment because the Straight Branch trestle was still unrepaired.
