It was a year of records at the 2025 Waldo 100K. We had a record number of starters at 146, a record low DNS rate of 9%, a record high finish rate of 93% which yielded a record 136 finishers!
The weather was cool and clear for most of the race except for a few hours in the afternoon where there was thunderstorm activity, but the storms mostly bypassed the runners.
Mario Mendoza Jr won in 9:59:31, followed by Robert Ressl in 10:07:11, and Eduardo Morales 10:10:56.
The top three women were Missy Lotz 12:31:20, Nu Ma 12:38:30, and Heidi Rounds 12:57:56.
Find Waldo winners (first to summit Fuji) were Zachary Halloway and Laura Westmeyer.
Wet Waldo was a tie between Yu Kuwabera and Mosi King who both swam in all six lakes and finished in 13:14.
Show Us Your Waldo winner was Erica Mertens, a.k.a. the sticker lady.
Thanks to all the volunteers, runners, crews, and pacers who combined to make for a fantastic weekend.
The next Waldo will be held on August 1, 2026. Lottery registration will be open from January 1-21, 2026 with the drawing held on January 22.
