Black Canyon 100K 2026 Recap | Golden Tickets and Key Takeaways

Tonight we recap the 2026 Black Canyon 100K, breaking down the race results, Golden Ticket recipients, and the key storylines from a historically fast edition of the race.

We'll discuss how the race unfolded across the desert course, what it means for this summer's Western States 100, and the standout performances that defined the weekend.

We'll also be joined live by Hans Troyer, the men's 100K champion, to reflect on his race and experience at Black Canyon.
