Jose Cruz is close to a sure thing at Wasatch. He’s on the podium every year. He was second in 2024, first in 2023, third in 2022, second in 2021, and he won this year’s race in 20:38. Cruz has The Bear 100 Mile in three weeks, too. Last year, after finishing second at Wasatch, Cruz doubled back to win at The Bear.

Imogene Pass Run – Ouray, Colorado
It was the race’s 52nd year. The point-to-point course climbed over 5,000 feet in its first 10 miles, crested 13,114-foot Imogene Pass at its high point, and then dropped down seven miles into Telluride. It’s 17.1 miles in total.
