Puerto Vallarta 2026 Results

Puerto Vallarta by UTMB was supposed to happen earlier in the year, but due to forces beyond the race organizations control the event had to be moved to a later date.

A few years ago when this race was first announced as a UTMB event American runners were quite excited about it, but this year hardly any US runner made it across the border to race, which is kind of a bummer.
