When a level-headed amateur runner is granted the chance to run the grueling hot Western States Endurance Run, he discovers that his epic journey to the finish line is about much more than just battling the heat.
Chris Zehetleitner is a 44-year-old writer, ultrarunner, cat lover, coffee connoisseur and former touring musician and music professional from Munich, Germany.
He is the founder and owner of the running clothing brand WILLPOWER and a couple of other more or less visible side hustles.
Chris runs the Das Z Letter running blog and newsletter and occasionally contributes stories to Like the Wind Magazine, Runner’s World, and Laufzeit. He started running rather late in his life, when he was 34, and he hasn’t stopped since. Together with his wife Lisa, he enjoys life and running to the fullest and looks forward to many more exciting running projects in the future.
The Western States Endurance Run (also known as "Western States 100" or "Western States") is the oldest and most iconic 100-mile ultramarathon in the world. It takes place each June in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Participants of the race have to climb 18,090 feet (5,500 m) and descent 22,970 feet (7,000 m). Besides running at high altitude and rugged back country terrain, the intense heat up to 104 degree Fahrenheit (40 degree Celsius) is one of the major challenges of Western States.
Alongside the UTMB in Chamonix, France, the Western States Endurance Run is the most competitive and most sought-after ultrarunning event in the world. Almost without exception Western States sees the most outstanding athletic performances of our sport every year. It repeatedly redefines what is possible in ultra trail running and endurance sports in general. To almost every ultrarunner, it is the biggest dream and greatest honor to be a part of it.
