Quest for the Crest 2026

David Wenzel won in 8:01:44, twenty-five minutes ahead of Dakota Poindexter. Chantalle Falconer won the women's race in 8:52:48 and was fifth overall, more than an hour and eighteen minutes clear of the next woman, Anna Schinstock.

The race's difficulty shows up in the finish rate rather than the times. 98 of the 120 starters finished, so 22 did not, which is a rate you would expect from a hundred miler and not from a race the organiser bills as a 50K.
