Adela Salt

About

Adela Salt is an ultrarunner who demonstrated her capacity for extreme endurance with a podium finish at the 2018 Desert Solstice Track Invitational — the annual 24-hour fixed-time race held on a certified track in Phoenix, Arizona, and one of the most competitive timed ultramarathon events on the American calendar. In 24 hours she covered 124.711 miles (200.67 km) to finish third among women in a field that regularly draws athletes targeting American records, IAU world rankings points, and national team selection. The Desert Solstice is a benchmark event in American timed ultra running where performances are frequently among the fastest recorded in any given year, and covering the equivalent of nearly five back-to-back marathons on a track across an unbroken 24-hour period — sustaining pace, fuelling effectively, and managing cumulative fatigue in a purely time-based format — reflects a serious and well-prepared approach to the long end of the ultra-endurance spectrum.
