I am pleased to announce that Ann Trason is the 2020 inductee into the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame in her first year of eligibility. Starting in 1988, Ann set world records at 50 miles, 100 km, 12 hours, and 100 miles. She also dominated on the trails where she won consistently, achieving 14 wins at Western States 100 and four wins at Leadville Trail 100. She was a two-time winner of the world’s oldest and largest ultra, Comrades Marathon (approximately 55 miles), the first woman from America to win that prestigious race. She was named “Ultrarunner of the Year” 12 times by Ultrarunning Magazine.
