Vincent's journey into endurance sports began with triathlon, eventually completing an Ironman. He later set his sights on Western States 100 and changed his training to focus on longer trail runs.  

His Canadian Journey to Western States 100 started in 2014 with his first qualifier Eastern States 100, followed up by Oil Creek 100 and never looked back.  His last ticket race was Twisted Branch 100k in 2019 when he finally heard his name pulled in the WS Lottery.

Now like the rest of the international runners, he awaits that day when he can finally toe the line at WS100.

Riccardo's Canadian Trail to Western States started in 2014 with Pinhoti 100.  Along the way, Riccardo ran UTMB and The Canyons 100k 3 times to gain insight on the WS100 course. His final qualifier was the Javelina 100 in 2019 which led him to finally earn his ticket in the Lottery.  

Now like the rest of the international runners, he awaits that day when he can finally toe the line at WS100.
