Eric Clifton was the fastest and most dominating 100-mile trail ultrarunner during the 1990s, winning the most 100-milers, and set more than 20 course records. Congratulations to Eric Clifton, originally from North Carolina, now of California, who was inducted into the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame on November 19, 2021.

His “go for broke” race strategy was legendary, as he demonstrated to the rapidly expanding sport that amazing speed on trails could be achieved. During that era, he had the most overall 100-mile wins in the world and would usually win by wide margins. His career-best 100-mile time on trails was 13:16:02. In 1994, he lowered the JFK 50 course record to 5:46:22, which stood for 17 years. He set more than 20 course records, still holding some of them after three decades and had more than 60 ultra wins. He also won at Badwater and had early “success” at the Barkley Marathons. Please join with me in congratulating and welcoming Eric Clifton into the Hall of Fame.
