Thrilling moment as Nicholas Bassett finishes the 2018 Western States Endurance Run at the age of 73 becoming the oldest finisher in WSER history. #wser100
We have ordered 32,000 pounds of ice for the race this weekend. With 320 runners and 20 aid stations, that works out to 5 pounds of ice per runner per aid station.
And in his debut 100 miler race, in 15:13:47 — the winner of our 2022 Western States Endurance Run: @hoka athlete Adam Peterman.
Congratulations, Adam!

Tim Twietmeyer finally gets his tile placed in Auburn. What an incredible legacy. What isn't listed there is his 15 consecutive years of top five finishes! He's also a very good human. The world needs more like him.
