Guillermo Medina

About

Guillermo Medina is an American ultrarunner from Santa Maria, California who came to the sport after accompanying his wife to marathon training and discovered a passion for distances far beyond 26 miles. He has completed over 18 ultramarathons at the 100-mile distance, all within a 24-hour window, with his fastest finish at 15 hours. A consistent top finisher at California ultras who has been featured on The North Face's website for his commitment to ultra-distance running, he won the Javelina Jundred in Arizona and the San Diego 100, placing fourth at the Angeles Crest 100 in the same year. His philosophy encapsulates the spirit of the sport: "Why should I quit at 26 miles when I know I can run four times that much?"
