Adam Peterman is the UltraRunner of the Year for 2022. He was unbeaten in four major races, setting course records at the Chuckanut 50k and the Canyons 100k. He won Western States in his debut 100-miler, and later in the year won the World Trail Championships 80k in Thailand.

Jones finished third at the mountainous Hardrock in 23:06, one of the fastest top 10 times ever recorded. Later in the year, he won the flat, fast Javelina 100 in course-record time. He is a mechanical engineering student and the executive director of Footprints Running Camps, which combine environmental activism and mountain athletics.
