The rest (not included in the graph) had one. California was second with 11, Oregon came in a close behind with 10, Arizona with 7, Montana and Utah with 3, Virginia, Florida, and Vermont each have 2.
When all the UROY winners were tallied up, it was a close race, but Colorado took top honors with 13 UROYs. So please, don’t get your panties in a bunch, this is strictly entertainment, not science.īelow each graph I summarize the findings and at the end I include a few interesting take-aways as well as the raw data to chew on. These are rudimentary graphs and I’m sure my sample sizes aren’t big enough and there are likely other types of charts that could better represent the data, but you’ll get the gist and that’s all I’m really aiming to achieve here. I chose a five year look-back because beyond that I was getting into some names that are pretty checked out of the sport and their current residence was becoming less and less relevant if we want to know where the top runners are living today.Īnd just to be clear, I’m no statistician. And I may or may not have visited a few Linkedin profiles. Nothing creepy, I simply looked up the names on UltraSignup to see where they are currently living based on their most recent race result. Then I looked up where each UROY is living NOW. Okay, so I went back through the annals of Ultra Running Magazine’s Ultra Runner of the Year (UROY) rankings and extracted all the names from the men’s and women’s top ten lists from the last five years (2013-2018).
