Mike Foote
Runner & Ski Mountaineer
Mike Foote is the fastest yurt-dwelling ultrarunner in Missoula, Montana. In 2011, he was a surprise first American to cross the line at UTMB, and in early 2012, he broke the course record at the Bighorn 100 before earning a spot on the UTMB podium in 3rd place later that same year. Mike stood atop the podium at the 2013 Moab Trail Marathon, and in 2014 he finished second at the Lavaredo Ultra Trail. Mike was second place at the legendary Hardrock 100 in both 2015 and 2017 behind Kilian Jornet.
Mike has recently dipped his toes into the sport of ski mountaineer racing which has landed him a spot on the U.S. Skimo Team. This winter, Mike blended his 100 Mile running experience with his passion for skiing and set a new world record for most vertical feet climbed and skied in 24 hours at 61,200 ft.
