"Dower ran 13:31 on trails for 100 miles. She won by almost a full hour, and it was way up on Camille Herron's old 14:03 course record from 2021. The time makes Dower the second-fastest North American woman over 100 miles ever, and the win also offers an automatic entry back into Western States in 2026 for a redemption run."
"Running 100 miles for the first time, Beth McKenzie was second in 14:31, and Addie Bracy ran a giant 100-mile personal best for third in 14:45. McKenzie's time ranks fifth best ever at Javelina, and Bracy's time is the race's eighth best ever. Pre-race contenders Valérie Arsenault (Canada) and Careth Arnold did not finish. Social media is reporting that Dower and Bracy received and accepted the Western States 100 Golden Tickets."
Weekend highlights included the Javelina 100 Mile, two Skyrunner World Series races, and a sub-12-hour 100 miler by Zach Bitter. The Javelina 100 Mile at McDowell Mountain Regional Park featured a five-lap, flat and fast course with 6,296 feet of climbing and Golden Ticket berths for the first two men and women. Tara Dower won in 13:31, breaking Camille Herron's 14:03 course record and becoming the second-fastest North American woman over 100 miles while securing a Western States 100 Golden Ticket. Beth McKenzie placed second in 14:31 in her first 100, and Addie Bracy was third in 14:45 with a large personal best. Valérie Arsenault and Careth Arnold did not finish. Social media reported Dower and Bracy accepted their Golden Tickets. From 2016 to 2018 Beth McKenzie served a two-year doping sanction after testing positive for ostarine.
