Gender Split at Western States

According to official 2022 Entrants List there are 384 starters total.

• 292 men – 76%
• 92 women – 24%

Not great, not great at all.

In comparison, Lavaredo 2022 has combined across their four races: 4688 starters total.

• 3540 men – 76%
• 1148 women – 24%

Which is, surprisingly, the same percentage. But in their longest distance, the Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120K, the total number of women runners drops to 189 from a total of 1596, which is an abysmal 12%. What a sausage fest.

In their shortest distance, the Cortina Skyrace 20K, the percentage of women runners is 48%.
