Perry Edinger

About

Perry Edinger is an American ultrarunner from Arizona who established himself on the classic North American 100-mile circuit in the mid-2000s and beyond. A versatile athlete comfortable with both desert heat and high-altitude mountain terrain, he placed second at the Javelina Jundred in 2005 and went on to complete a string of the sport's most demanding events, including Western States Endurance Run (2007), Vermont 100 Endurance Race (2008), Leadville Trail 100 (2008), Wasatch Front 100 (2008), HURT 100 (2009), and the Coldwater Rumble and Zane Grey 50 Mile. His race history reflects a broad-ranging appetite for challenge across varied landscapes and formats — from the scorched desert loops of Phoenix to the 14,000-foot ridgelines of Colorado — and his breadth of finishes places him among the dedicated athletes of North American ultrarunning's competitive 2000s era. He has been featured in regional media for his role in the Arizona ultrarunning community, where heat management and nocturnal training are prerequisites for summer ultra preparation.
