About
Cole Watson is an American professional trail and ultra runner based in Rancho Cordova, California. Growing up in Rogue River, Oregon, he ran cross-country and track at the University of Oregon before discovering trail running in 2016, when he moved to Ashland and worked at Rogue Valley Runners under legendary ultrarunner Hal Koerner. Running for Brooks, he has established himself as one of the most consistent American performers at the 50-mile to 100-mile distance. His biggest result came at the 2024 Canyons 100k by UTMB, which he won outright. He also finished 18th at the Western States 100 and 36th in the CCC at UTMB Mont-Blanc in 2024.
