We thought we’d make it easy for all you Western States 100 fans out there by collecting some of the best race coverage from around the web, including articles, photos, videos, interviews, and first-person race reports. We’ll be updating this page as we – both iRunFar and you – identify additional resources. Please feel free to leave a comment noting such resources and your thoughts on the race.
We’ve included the men’s and women’s top 10 at the bottom of this page for those of you who want to find out quickly how the top runners did.
If you’re looking for more on the race, check out our right hand sidebar for video interviews of Kilian Jornet, Ellie Greenwood, and more. You can also take a look at our pre-race 2011 WS100 story roundup.
