Western States underdog Farvard finishes second
It’s not always the winner that captures the hearts of fans. Sometimes, it’s the underdog that goes on an unlikely Cinderella run that stands out among the crowd. Enter Rod Farvard of Mammoth Lakes. Farvard didn’t finish his first go at the Western States Endurance Run in 2021. He finished in 58th in 2022 and 12th in 2023. Farvard earned a golden ticket to last weekend's Western States by winning The Canyons 100K in April, and while he's a known name in the ultramarathoning world, he had never led at Western States and was not considered to be one of the favorites in 2024.
