Canyons Starter Numbers Through the Years

22 April 2026

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)

STARTERS2023202420252
100M278291235
100K1537586667
50K469642616
25K407468325
Total Starters:1,6911,9871,843

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.

  1. For all years the 100K has been a WSER Golden Ticket race.
  2. In 2023 and 2024 Canyons was a UTMB Major and awarded double the number of stones. This changed in 2025 when Kodiak Ultra Marathons in Big Bear, CA became the Americas Major.
  3. ECC summary of results for 2025 can be found here, for 2024 here, and my post in 2023.
