This is a listing of the all-time best performances by North American residents. We list these as best times, not records, because many of these times have not been officially sanctioned or certified by USATF or any governing body. Nonetheless, the times are believed to be accurate. A ‘t’ next to the time indicates that the mark was set in a trail race, where the distance is believed to be accurate.
In 6 issues per year, UltraRunning magazine provides extensive coverage of all significant ultras in North America, as well as many major international races. We provide in-depth columns on training and nutrition, race reports, gear reviews and other ultrarunning related articles.
