Wes Claytor | Founder
I started running ultramarathons in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the sport. Since then, I’ve completed many ultras of varying distances and formats, but my favorite is mountainous 100 milers. I jumped into race directing at the beginning of 2023 with the help of my wife and cofounder, Christa, and we created UltraCulture Running in the same year.

I recently listened to a podcast between Dylan Bowman and Yassine Diboun—two ultrarunners that I respect and draw inspiration from—and they recalled a 100-mile race they participated in years ago. They both laughed as they talked about how a few of the frontrunners, themselves included, were saying mid-race that they’d never do another 100 again.
