The small print….

To avoid 30% withholding on your prize money, U.S. and Resident Foreign Athletes must provide a form W‐9 with valid social security number. A Form 1099 will be issued at year end to all athletes receiving compensation of $600 or more in a given year. All athletes who are citizens of foreign countries, also known as non‐resident athletes (NRAs) will be subject to 30% withholding of the total prize money as required by the IRS. This amount will be credited toward any US taxes owed at year end. If a NRA is interested in trying to lower the withholding rate, they may apply for a Central Withholding Agreement at least 45 days prior to event.

HARVEY HANDICAPS THE 2026 HARES – MEN

HARVEY HANDICAPS THE 2026 HARES – WOMEN

1. Ryan Sullivan, 35, Colorado – Fourth here last year and figures to improve, and good last out off a layoff at Black Canyon means he’s training well and be ready to roll. It’s early but field already looking pretty tough; going out on a limb with this guy.

2. Dave Stevens, 43, Canada – Hey, guy’s a two time winner here so can’t fault those who think he’s up for the hat trick, but at 43 he’ll have to show me he still has what it takes; still, Canadians have rocked here and he’s always focussed on this. One of the best. Would obviously be no surprise.

3. Jim Rebenack, 41, Colorado – Another former winner here, with a second as well; guy’s always flown beneath the radar as he’s not a social media guy, all he does is run, run, run, but when going good he’s certainly one of the best; been quiet of late but still suspect he’s got plenty in the tank. One of the ones in a so far very contentious field.

4. Jesse Rich, 36, Utah – Guy surprised everyone including maybe himself with out of the clouds win here last year, but hey, that was a strangely run race in awful, awful conditions that just may have suited him, so he’ll likely be doing the rain and snow dance. Anyway, he’d run well here before, so maybe it wasn’t a one off. Defending champ looking to prove that last year was no fluke. Teams up with Hannah Allgood in the Team Challenge.

5. Jon Harrison, 36, Colorado – Not sure what to make of this guy, as he ran second here last year again in those awful conditions that may just have suited; another looking to show that last year was no fluke. Definitely moves up if the conditions are poor. Teams with Cecilia Williams in the Team Challenge.

6. Mark Hammond, 40, Utah – Guy’s a six time finisher, including three second place finishes so knows the course better than anyone; not sure his recent efforts put him up there, so may be overrated, but an absolute threat for the win if he focusses on this. Respect chances.

1. Hannah Allgood, 34, Colorado – She’s run 17 plus at Western, 14 plus at Javelina (just behind last years winner), and just took down the Moab 55k, though not sure who was behind her in that, plus she’s from Colorado so altitude and climbing should be no problem. She’s at her prime and one of the world’s best and probably getting better; the pick in what figures to be a deep field. Teams with Jon Harrison in the Team Challenge.

2. Jennie Yeaman, 34, Colorado – Hard to look past her fourth place finish last year in those awful, awful conditions, but it was her first try at Distance of Truth and her time was stellar, and another who only figures to improve. Suspect she’ll be focussed on this. Contender for all the marbles.

3. Nicole Laughton, 39, Oklahoma – Flatlander has been 4th here and was last year’s Big Horn winner as well so no stranger to climbing and altitude. Another One of the Ones in what figures to be a very tough field. Teams with Joel Dutton in the Team Challenge.

4. Sarah Humble, 25, Utah – Just 25 and so not even at her prime; she already has a win at the Bear, though faces much tougher here. Run, Rabbit, Run has been the coming out party for some of the world’s best and she might be next. Dark horse pick to win it all.

5. Zoe Rom, 32, Colorado – She has a 5th and a 7th here so knows the course well, and she’s got a 2nd at Leadville as well; seemingly never throws in a bad one, and at 32 there’s still room for improvement. Merits much respect. Might surprise.

6. Cecilia Williams, 30, Colorado – Fourth at High Lonesome, 5th at Never Summer, but thinking at 30 she’s still got plenty of upside. Could be any sort. Teams with Jon Harrison in the Team Challenge.

HARVEY HANDICAPS THE 2025 50 MILE – MEN

HARVEY HANDICAPS THE 2025 50 MILE – WOMEN

1. Ryan Raff, 25, Montana – Second at Lake Sonoma, winner at Crown King, beating subsequent Leadville 100 course record holder, hey, he might be in a different league than these, and then there’s that 9th at Canyons 100K to aid in resume. Heck, he’s just 25. Could be any sort.

2. Rick Davey, 35, C0lorado – Guy has loaded the bases over three years, with second, first (male), and third, respectively. Suspect he’s focussed on this. Will have his hands full with top selection but if top selection falters, might be his to lose.

3. Jared Burris, 33 Colorado – Guy hasn’t been off the podium in 10 years, and suspect that streak will continue. Might give top two a run for their money.

4. Austin Gliottone, 28, Colorado – Recent second at Never Summer 60 K and 4th at Quadrock 25 put him right in the hunt if handles the distance.

5. Peter Weida, 32, Colorado – Local runner has home field advantage, and that’s huge. Will be swinging for it for the home crowd. Respect.

6. Fernando Cabada, 43, Colorado – Gotta love that sub 3 hour 50k down in Wisconsin because that’s really smokin’, but been on the shelf the past three years since. Prior efforts also stellar, including third in USATF National Championship 50K. Dangerous if runs to prior form.

7. Benjamin Kopecky, 39, Colorado – Been on the shelf past two years but efforts before that put him right in the mix. Contender.

8. David Bougie, 30, Wisconsin – Top midwestern runner may have his hands full with altitude and climbing, but decent efforts at somewhat shorter aid in chances. Has a shot.

9. Christopher Welker, 29, Vermont – East Coast runner ran well in Vermont 50, and at 29 has room to improve. Might pull the upset.

1. Mary Baughman, 29, Colorado – She’s won the 50 before, in 2022, and then stepped up as a Hare to run a terrific 3rd in 2023. Drops down this year from the 100 with an injury; looks with second selection to be much the best if healthy, but that’s a big if.

2. Megan Roche, 35, Colorado – She hasn’t lost in years. Tossup between her and top selection.

3. Veronika Merchant, 35, Colorado – Local runner has been here twice and knows the course. Giving her the nod for third in an otherwise evenly matched field.

4. Hannah Casey, 35, Colorado – Runner has run well in low key races, but should fit here. One of the ones.

5. Lauren Bruns Buchheit, 37, Colorado – Runner comes off a two year hiatus but that last effort at Crested Butte fits here. Tough to get a read on her but fits if ready.

6. Tracie Rupert, 44, Colorado – She’s ben here before and that will help; Decent run at Never Summer means she can climb. Prior efforts put her in the hunt in what seems to be a wide open race.

7. Steph Metzler, 38, Wyoming – Taking a wild swing with lightly raced Wyoming runner who’s never raced past 15k and then just in local races. Why not?

8. Julie Werning, 41, Colorado – Another more or less local runner who’s been here before and last years effort is good enough to win this. Rates as good a chance as any.

9. Jess Vargo, 40, California – Recent effort at Rio Del Lago 100 puts her in the chase.
