Ellaney Matarese just finished seventh at the 2026 Black Canyon 100k, competing with an experienced and world class field in her first 100k race ever... with only about six months of trail experience behind her!

At 22 years old, Ellaney has a fascinating story. She is full of confidence, curiosity, and depth - and only just getting started!
