The Leadville 100 Mile caught most of the weekend attention with two new course records, but there was also racing at the Headlands 50k, Squamish 50/50, San Juan Softie 100 Mile, and more.
You can also check out our Leadville course record coverage from earlier in the weekend:
Leadville 100 Mile – Leadville, Colorado
The high-altitude race hit new highs. Anne Flower broke a longstanding women’s course record and finished second overall in 17:58, and David Roche repeated as men’s winner and broke his own course record in 15:12.

Women
Anne Flower overtook Katie Asmuth for the women’s lead near the marathon mark and went on to win the women’s race in 17:58. She incredibly finished second overall. Flower’s time bettered Ann Trason’s former 18:06 course record that went back 31 years to 1994.
Racing 100 miles for the first time, Flower hit halfway in 8:11 and was already third overall at this point. The 35-year-old has owned Leadville trail racing this summer. She earlier won both the Leadville Trail Marathon and the Silver Rush 50 Mile too.
No one was close to Flower and her record-setting pace.
Imogen Ainsworth was second in 19:36, and Lea Mulligan was third in 20:39. It looks like it was the 100-mile debut for all three of the podium getters.
Asmuth ran in second through halfway but dropped near mile 76.

Men
Anything can happen in 100 miles, but let’s be real. It was going to be a surprise if anyone was within an hour of David Roche. And that’s how it went. Roche was off the charts and in our hearts for the second year in a row.
Roche had a rough ride at June’s Western States 100, but came back to Leadville and again set a new course record. He got to work right away and was minutes ahead of his own course record pace through the first half. Roche got to the halfway turnaround in 7:06 and came home in 15:12. It was 14 minutes better than his 2024 finish.
Also, as in 2024, Roche is registered for October’s Javelina 100 Mile.

Justin Grunewald and area local Patrick Cade were second and third in 18:06 and 18:25.
Fan favorite Cam Hanes finished in 24:04, and his son Truett Hanes finished in 22:34.
Tamalpa Headlands 50k – Muir Beach, California
The race was the USATF 50k Trail National Championships and had a $10,000 prize purse that paid $2,500 to each of its winners. A car accident during the race forced an course reroute during the race that made it about a mile short of 50k.
Women
Running longer than 20 miles for the first time ever, Tayler Tuttle nailed her ultra debut with a win in 4:03:05. Caroline Alcorta finished just three minutes back in 4:06:24, and Ellaney Matarese was third in 4:10:01.
Men
Cole Campbell scored a repeat win in the men’s race, and it was really close. The top three men were separated by only 46 seconds. Campbell finished in 3:31:43. Second-place Liam Meirow was in at 3:32:25, and Spencer Ferguson-Dryden was third in 3:32:29.
Ugandan National Mountain and Trail Running Championships – Kapchorwa, Uganda
Uganda’s men have historically been a powerhouse at the World Mountain Running Championships, and these national championships were at least a partial selection race for the team that’ll race in Canfranc, Spain, next month. It was the 15th edition of the event, and there were 6.5-kilometer Uphill and 14-kilometer Up and Down races on back-to-back days. At this point, we’re pulling information from a number of social media sources, so we have incomplete results to report. We’ll update this section if we get more info.
It’s not yet clear who won the women’s Uphill race, but Isaac Mande Kibet led Eliud Cherop and Alex Kiplangat to the high point finish in the men’s race. Cherop was fourth in the Uphill race at the 2023 World Mountain Running Championships in Austria.
In the women’s 14k Up and Down race, Rispa Cherop beat Kerine Cherop to the line in 61:16 and 61:40. Esther Chekwemoi took third.
Martin Magengo Kiprotich broke free of the lead group after 11k and went on to win the men’s Up and Down 14k race in 52:58. Isaac Masai was second in 53:25. Abel Chebet took third, but we don’t have his finish time.
