Ranking Years by Difficulty

Median finish times 1986 and onward. It should be noted that both 1995 and 1998 the finish time cutoff was extended to 32 hours. While those years were arguably very difficult they do skew the median times.

Tevis and Western States Finishers

The Western States Endurance Run honors its beginnings from the Western States Trail Ride (Tevis Cup). Through the years, inspired by the draw of the Western States Trail, these athletes have met the challenge of both events.
