Eric Clifton, originally from North Carolina, now of California, was inducted into the American Ultrarunning Hall of Fame in 2021. Clifton was the fastest and most dominating 100-mile trail runner during the 1990s as trail ultras became popular in America. His “go for broke” race strategy was legendary, as he demonstrated to the rapidly expanding sport that amazing speed on trails could achieved. During his entire career, he has achieved more than 60 ultra wins, including 17 of his 31 100-mile finishes. He was known for his colorful running tights and was the original “Jester” of ultrarunning.
During the 1990s, Clifton had the most overall 100-mile trail wins in the world. He was a prolific trail runner and very fast, with more sub-15-hour 100-mile finishes on trails than anyone during that era. He would win by wide margins on hilly trail courses, sometimes by hours. He set more than 20 course records, still holding some of them after three decades.
