"The Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon was the runaway weekend headliner, and we also have international reports from Ultra-Trail Australia and Ultra-Trail Snowdonia, and some U.S. results from Cruel Jewel, Massanutten, and more."
"The women's race was close too, with Katarzyna Dombrowska (Poland) edging Beth McKenzie (U.S.) for the win by four minutes. Dombrowska and McKenzie ran 10:50 and 10:55, with McKenzie rapidly closing on Dombrowska on the infamous 951-step Furber Steps section of the trail. Emilie Mann (Canada) was third in 11:34."
"In the men's race, Rémi Bonnet (Switzerland) opened a big early lead but ultimately finished sixth. Defending champ Elhousine Elazzaoui (Morocco) and 2025 third-placer Daniel Pattis (Italy) hauled past Bonnet near the halfway mark, and Elazzaoui again used his late-race kick to score the win. Both Elazzaoui and Pattis finished in 3:45, with Elazzaoui 20 seconds in front."
"Josh Wade (U.K.) was over an hour better than second place with a 6:56 winning time. Lowri Morgan (U.K.) won the women's race in 9:21. Wade has been here every year since 2021 and won the 100 miler in 2023 and the 100k in 2022."
