Last night Ashley Paulson of Utah crossed the finish line next to the Whitney Portal Store in 21:44:35. She was the overall winner of the 2023 135 mile footrace, nearly breaking the course record of 21:33:01.
First place male finisher and second overall was Simon Holvik of Norway in 22:28:08. Third was course record holder Yoshihiko Ishikawa of Japan in 23:52:29.
Today and tomorrow more competitors will be seen heading up the road from Lone Pine to the Portal.
Strong work!
