RUNHUNDRED is the debut book of Chris Zehetleitner about his life-changing experiences at the Western States Endurance Run.

The Western States Endurance Run, for many the pinnacle of ultrarunning achievement, is more than just a race—it is a rite of passage and a cornerstone of American running culture, encapsulating the uniquely American fascination with testing limits against vast, untamed landscapes.

Through the lens of ultrarunning’s most iconic 100-mile race, ultrarunner and author Chris Zehetleitner delves into the deep connections between endurance sports, American landscapes, and the cultural narratives of grit, freedom, and transformation.
