Hans Troyer running M1 through Foresthill at Western States

Hans Troyer leads the men’s race at Foresthill, Mile 62, currently running under course record pace.

A few weeks ago we shared the data that shows the majority of Western States champions are in the lead at Foresthill. In all four of Jim’s victories, he’s been leading at Foresthill. What do you think? Can he come back and win or do we already know who our 2026 champion is?
