Electric Cable Car is part of Trail Tracks Network.
Just a month until the new Skyrunner USA National Series kicks off. Four incredible races invite you to touch the sky: Whiteface Skyrace, Beast of Big Creek, Skeetawk Skyline Scramble, Kismet Cliff Run.
As we’re awaiting the start of the Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB, which I will cover here on Electric Cable Car on my live ticker page, I thought I take a moment to share the total numbers of runners who’ve started each race over the last few years. (As far back as UTMB Live lists)
| STARTERS | 2023 | 2024 | 20252 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100M | 278 | 291 | 235 |
| 100K1 | 537 | 586 | 667 |
| 50K | 469 | 642 | 616 |
| 25K | 407 | 468 | 325 |
| Total Starters: | 1,691 | 1,987 | 1,843 |
So, while Canyons lost the Major status after the 2024 race the numbers didn’t drop as dramatically as one might think. It’ll be interesting to see how these numbers will compare to this year. I’ll report after the event.
