WESTERN STATES 100 COURSE RECORD & Full Race Highlights | 2019

The Western States 2019 course record is now official, set by Jim Walmsley, in a time of 14:09.28. On the ladies side, it was Clare Gallagher of Boulder, CO, who pulled off the upset in the 2019 Western States 100-mile race. The Western States 100 course traverses the mountains and Canyons of California from Squaw Valley to Auburn. The now iconic finish on the Placer High School track is home to many memories and stories of ultrarunning lore. We now have a new course record by Jim Walmsley for the Western States, and what a memorable moment it was as he crosses the finish line in this video.

[@jonnydoiron]

So awesome Seth!! That shot of Gordon at the end was pure gold. Such a cool moment.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Jonny Doiron probably my favorite shot of the weekend

[@xyzv8640]

True. But don't forget Mrs Callagher at 15:20 - 16:53! This is why we run!

[@eric_scully49]

I have probably watched this over 5 times. I am 15, and my dream race to win is the western states 100.

[@tylerroserunner]

Keep on keeping on my friend. Without big goals to strive for, we are nothing.

[@shtefanoo]

Put your head down, work hard and you will.

[@mocean666]

I am 33 and it’s my dream race to just complete lol. I hope you win it one day!!!

[@suzannelaburt2641]

Fantastic!!! LOVED IT! NO dialogue...just CHEERS!!! The "ending" with the OG was perfection!!!!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

OG for the win!!!

[@suzannelaburt2641]

@@SethJamesDeMoor Oh the stories Gordie can tell!

[@ski999]

Seth, I've been a still photographer since 1983, shooting everything from war to school board meetings, and I just had to stop by to tell you what an awesome job you did at WW100. You absolutely nailed it, brother. Clare's great-great-grandkids will someday be wowed by those moments.

[@ChadHiggins]

Think about this! The winner finished the 100 miles in just over 14 hours. That's 7 hours per 50 miles, or 3.5 hours per 25 miles. Most people can't run a marathon in 3.5 hours, and he did that 4 times! Crazy!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Chad Higgins Through mountains and elevation. 👍🏻

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

Yeah, the crazy thing is how quickly he was running considering the terrain. He ran just over 14 hours through snow, mud, elevation, and steep canyons. To maintain that sort of average pace there were periods where he was running under 6 minutes/mile. That's ludicrous.

[@Dave-so7sf]

Incredible!

[@dbpatrick-jolicoeurleconte6993]

I can't run a single mile at that pace. On a flat track. Not. One. Mile. (my "sprint" workouts are building up to those mile speeds... not quite there yet ;-) Doing that for 100 miles, in the mountains, is so far beyond the limits of the possible that it's simply astonishing. And beautiful. And terrifying. And fucking awesome. These folks represent the epitome of human athletic achievement - or an epitome, alongside other stunning geniuses of performance. So, so magical to be able to share their triumphs and their wonderful, genuine beauty in sport.

[@richardlawless3989]

I just watched a vid on the Northface 50 from a few years ago and the winner was at just over 11 hours. Unless I got it wrong, how is this humanly possible. Amazing.

[@heyitscarloc]

Seth you've outdone yourself. I really enjoyed all your Western State coverage and highlights. You've made me want to explore trail running and ultras.

[@keiiser]

Seth I believe it is time for me to say thank you Thank you for this video, these moments... even 48h after Jim crossed the finish line it is a delight And since I’m here, with cheerful words, I want to say thank you for the daily inspiration I’m living in the south of France and have found, for 8 months now, the will to go running and trail running as often as possible And these daily “meetings” with you are part of this process Cheers, be well and keep rolling !

[@willclaxton9373]

This is going to be my go-to video for if I'm ever in a running rut. My favourite finisher was the 29:59 guy

[@madr309]

Oh, yeah. The Walmsleys and Dauwalters and Gallaghers and Hazens are cool, but the back-of-the-pack guys are the ones that really inspire me - no sponsors, no interviews on IRunFar, no write-ups in Runner's World. Just the dream and the will.

[@toddboucher3302]

I love the last minute finishers

[@indyrunnerii]

Excellent coverage! The best I've seen. As a huge Western States fan, thanks so much for doing this! Excellent, excellent work!😁

[@Deadbuck73]

Good Morning Seth! Love love love this video... and Gordie looking over it all and then at you at the end... what a tribute to the whole event! Amazing.

[@maxvanhuis566]

I like how the Ginger Runner casually makes a cameo towards the beginning. I really liked the video. Very well made.

[@johanpettersson-evers5367]

Thanks Seth! You're really setting the bar with this one, high quality stuff. Gonna use this as an inspirational video for the rest of the year! 😁🙏 (some of the footage on Walmsley is nothing short of epic!)

[@MatthewSelkirkKey]

Love how you just let the running do the talking. Perfection!

[@hankmancil178]

WOW!!! One word. EMOTIONAL!!!!!

[@grantbaillie1979]

The amount of work you must have put into this Seth is simply amazing. Brilliant videos. Well done.

[@sharonlightfoot9921]

Crap....I’m not crying ...you are!!! 😭😭 beautifully filmed Seth. Congratulations to all the runners! 💕

[@matfavell290]

You nailed it Seth, amazing insight, amazing work. If watching this doesn’t get you off the sofa to start running, nothing will.

[@stevie2toes]

This is why I subscribe. This is probably the best states movie I've ever seen. You captured the moments beautifully! Good stuff Seth!

[@danieldarby5170]

I loved seeing Gordy at the end!

[@gretchenbanks616]

INCREDIBLE & moving!! Very well done!! Congrats to ALL!!

[@Abes523]

Wow Seth! You've outdone yourself, this is awesome!

[@oldirondemolitionderbyvideos]

Incredible footage Seth! You get the footage we all want to see when we can't be there in person! This is one of the best videos we have ever seen of yours. No words were needed throughout this video - you captured all the best moments and all the emotion was felt through the filming of the runners from the first to the last. Epic shot at the end of Gordy Ainsleigh watching the awards ceremony and seeing the emotion on his face. Bravo!

[@lethmatrosen]

Just revisited the video. Truely great footage! Thanks a lot for great and moving insight in a iconic race.

[@gosekinz]

no commentary required - the images say it all .. 💙

[@midway241]

WOW Seth this video was amazing and definitely an award winner! Photography that pays grave attention to the precise look at a human face during stress, pain, victory and joy. The music was perfectly matched and enhanced my emotions. Your love for cinematography and running shined throughout this video. Congratulations and I can’t wait for the next race! God Bless friend!

[@susangeorge1677]

I just love this! My favorite parts are crossing the start line then ending with Gordon...... and everything in-between. Just beautiful. Thank you!

[@aquietmomentinmind]

So inspiring to watch!!

[@ScottTuscher]

Beautiful video, footage and cutting. Capturing all of the emotions of the runners and the cheers of the crowds with the mix of a background track was just great. It even got me to tear up sometimes. Motivating to see these runners do their thing and to be able to join them, if just for a little bit, on their journey was really cool.

[@davidschoenberg6143]

That shot of Gordy was incredible. I thought so the other day - glad you closed with it. Perfect!

[@rachelblinn5790]

I cried watching this I can't wait for this year!!

[@MKHoadley]

This is amazing footage. Thank you!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Thanks for watching Matthew!

[@dbpatrick-jolicoeurleconte6993]

Really wonderful footage - thanks so much for sharing! "Inspirational" doesn't even come close to describing its impact on those of us mere mortals in the depths of merely mortal ultra training programmes... 🙏

[@andrewshaw1748]

its 9pm in aus melbourne - you absolute legend keep these vids coming! tv is australia is rubbish so i just watch youtube!

[@pablohidalgo4815]

Andrew Shaw hey mate! Same here, Melbourne KZbin addict watching this xD

Central coast agrees with this comment too

[@gokiwi2642]

Andrew Shaw yeah better than a lot of rubbish they have tv, awesome work Seth

[@runcaz7802]

Andrew Shaw That's not only in Australia. TV here in the states is rubbish as well.

[@zapruder01963]

Damn Seth !! Thanks for getting these out so fast..you must have been grinding on the edits to get them done..it doesn't go unnoticed !! this is EPIC !! thanks again from New Zealand

[@tobiasrottenbach1769]

I love this video!! Thank you very much!

[@tombargerstock3419]

Great work Seth!! Fantastic coverage, capturing the emotion of the event!!

Fantastic video, best part Gordie watching.

[@Deviated88]

Absolutely spot on my friend, fantastic recap and amazing video!

[@jimoconnor8597]

Awesome coverage! Between this and IRunFar coverage, I got it all! Jim cemented his WS100 legacy! Would love to hear the back and forth between roommates, Jim and Jared. Epic race again this year!

[@Icedragonshiki]

i just love this mini documentary of western states, music selection is on point! rewatching again a year later ❤️

[@JonnyBuilds]

Beautiful little film. Thanks!

[@Selflete]

ENJOYED THIS. I run and vlog daily.

[@Zanrok]

Absolutely nuts... I could not imagine running for 14 hours... let alone 30 hours.. Thanks for the highlights fun to watch!

[@benadonis6962]

So good Seth! Thanks for taking us along the WS100 journey. Your stuff is next level. Keep it up!

[@Life_pics_vids_moments]

You captured "the why we run" on video, amazing!

Just an insane time, very inspiring to see what a human being can do when they put their mind to jt!

Congrats on 20K Subscribers!

[@thejenna1012]

Your films are amazing...pure running, the best moments in beautiful slow motion, and great ambient music...so inspiring!

[@jasonhawen3272]

Love the Gordy touch at the end 👏

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Likely my favorite shot of the entire weekend

[@x__dos]

OMG when I saw Gordy tears come to my eyes, such a touching video!

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Probably my favorite shot of the entire weekend

[@aaronleeman-smith9730]

This already feels like one of the great trail running videos. The sort of video that makes a road runner make those first tentative steps on dirt.....well done Seth

[@MrRustam89]

13:54 So emotional when Tom Evans finishes!!!

[@reginapeters5690]

Outstanding footage!💕🏃‍♂️🏽🏃🏽‍♀️💯

I watched this 3 times today...have a minor injury so I can't run today while I rehab. Great stuff as always Seth...I love you reviews but your race coverage is top 3 of my favorites.

[@marysalmon2367]

now you've gone and made a grown woman cry.

[@markmclarty1407]

That’s an awesome video!

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Great job covering the event and providing to us such a close and inspirational approach to this race. Thanks for the hard work! and the channel is already with 20K followers. Keeps growing steadily :)

[@Slowhand871]

no wrong turn for Jim this year. He is a beast.

[@runningwithaj]

That opening sequence... magic

[@DanRuns]

This is on another level Seth.

[@perlashipp4251]

Hey Seth, I want to say thank you for the AMAZING footage of WS100 last weekend. You did such a wonderful job capturing, I would imagine to be, the best moments of the race. We would have loved to have been there in person, but I don’t know if we could have seen everything you caught on film. You are a super talented photographer/videographer and we can’t wait to see what your next adventure will be. Im so glad “True Love” let you take off to cover the race, tell her we are eternally grateful for wonderful people like you guys. God Bless and keep the good vibes flowing!!! Perla and Grant Shipp

[@esmeralda869]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful working, great footage and editing. The final scene at the award ceremony, Gordy looking from afar, is sublime.

[@paulcook7426]

Wonderful video. And lovely capture of Gordy.

[@alejandrapalos672]

Awesome video!!! Excellent coverage and highlights

[@troyhall9894]

Amazing work on this video! The filming, creativity, and quick turnaround time to produce this quality content is impressive.

[@kssrider6766]

Wow! A Malaysian Flag @ 18:32. Yea!!! Great Video, Seth. Enjoyed your coverage of this race.

[@lisarunsfast7368]

Super footage!! Loved the whole thing! Beautiful job!

[@johnrivers5934]

10:25 That smooth shirt change from wamsley though...

[@vagnsteen5130]

By race rules, he should have stopped and changed, By handing off his water bottle to change the shirt on the fly, he now is forcing his pacer to carry his equipment, which is, by the rule, not allowed.

[@davebegbie362]

Cool footage. Thanks

[@hagakuru]

Thanks for the footage! Well done.

[@VIVSVIBE]

You got some incredible footage!!!
