So since a precedent has been set with achievement awards, I'm thinking it would be appropriate for Scott Jurek to give me one of his cougars for winning Western States.

Congratulations to Stuart Chutter, who was selected by @libbyruns.bsky.social and The Active Joe, a Western States 100 sponsor, to run the 2026 race for the way he shows up — on the farm, in his community and on the trail.

No luck for me in the Western States Lottery, not surprisingly my 0.6% chance with two tickets didn’t come up.
I am really glad all 5 people with 10 years of qualifying got selected!

Lucky 7, easy ish miles.
Hoping 16 (tickets in Western States lottery) will be lucky, too.

Back on the indoor bike for 17+ miles today.
Happy Friday — and Western States lottery eve to all those who celebrate!

Western States lottery is Saturday. I have 16 tickets, and a 4.8% chance.

I’m pretty sure my chances in the Western States lottery are lower this year with 2 tickets than they were last year with one. Happy to leave this one to the fates, I get joy from qualifying.

I did not waste any time registering for the @westernstates.bsky.social lottery after it opened this morning. 16 tickets this year.
Hoping that 16 will be sweet!

The cheapest places to charge an EV are rural #Red Politically or #MAGA #WesternStates, where residential electricity costs little. #Trump has conned #MAGA to believe #EV #Cars are worthless. When in reality, they’re the best value.

The 2025 Western States race was an epic showdown, with first-time winners on both the men's and women's sides. There were many story lines before the big day, and now there are many more. Here are some questions in the aftermath of the race.

Congratulations to the @wser champions! Super speedy races by Caleb Olson, 14:11:25 for the second fastest time in race history. Abby Hall wins the women's race in 16:37:16, the fourth-fastest in history.

Ran early on what is going to be a hot day. Went up to Trailcon in the Olympic Valley on Wednesday. Never seen so many elite runners in one place. Five men over age 70 are running Western States today as is one 80-year-old. My run was easier today, now I need to push myself a bit. #westernstates
Here we go! Western States!

In two days, it's time for Western States!
Rod Farvard is on a quest as he returns to #WesternStates, after his breakout performance in 2024 when he finished second with the third-fastest time ever at the historic race.
For Rod, it's a win — or DNF.
