Unprecedented seven-time winner of the Western States 100-Mile Run
Set the 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record
Holds the US all-surface 24-Hour Run record with 165.7 miles

Scott Jurek, named one of the greatest runners of all time, has ascended to the status of a living legend. His incredible achievements in ultrarunning have solidified his place in history. He has emerged victorious in almost all of ultrarunning's prestigious trail and road events, including the monumental 153-mile Spartathlon, the grueling Hardrock 100, the punishing Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and his most celebrated race, the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he remarkably won an unprecedented seven consecutive times. In addition to these remarkable accomplishments, Scott has left an indelible mark on the running world with his astounding 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record. Covering nearly 50 miles each day over a span of 46 days, he showcased his unparalleled endurance. Furthermore, he holds the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run, covering a staggering 165.7 miles – equivalent to completing 6.5 marathons in a single day. Beyond his extraordinary athletic feats, Scott is a devoted advocate for vegetarianism. He adheres to a 100 percent plant-based diet, attributing it to his enduring stamina, swift recovery, and sustained success throughout his remarkable twenty-year racing career. With unwavering belief, he asserts that anyone can run an ultra and tap into their body's innate ability to heal. Through his writing, public speaking, and consulting, Scott derives great satisfaction from motivating individuals of all fitness levels to take the next step towards vibrant health. So, if you find yourself seeking a way to conquer physical or mental barriers, join forces with Scott and prepare to unleash the exhilarating sensation of boundless joy.
