honestly I don't follow the "ultra" scene, and while I don't like to discount people's achievement, but for any sporting event to be "elite", it must has breadth of competition. I don't know who zach bitter is, so I googled him up. It looks like one of his fame is breaking the 100mile "world record" run. So I googled up the 100mile competition events. So here they are:
1. World record established by a Russian guy named
Oleg Kharitonov here
2. Zach Bitter 100mile run in 2015 attempt at American record
3. a 2014 Desert Solstice event
Judging from the breadth of competition, I would not call these 100mi events "elite" events. They are filled with age groupers and "finishers". Again nothing wrong with personal achievements... but Olympics and the major big name marathons are where the elites come out to play.
