Lauren Jones

About

Lauren Jones is an American ultrarunner from Atlanta, Georgia who has established herself as one of the country's most versatile performers across ultra-distance formats — moving between marathons, 100-mile ultras, 24-hour track races, backyard-style events, and 200-mile-plus multi-day races with podium results across each. She placed second in the women's race at the 2022 Cocodona 250 (78:34:16) across the 250-mile point-to-point traverse of Arizona's mountain and desert terrain, second at the USATF 100-Mile Trail Championship in 2024, and second at the Tahoe 200 — results spanning the full bandwidth of ultra-distance racing across multiple seasons. Consistent pacing and adaptability across radically different formats make Jones one of the few American women who can credibly compete at the highest level of both 100-mile trail racing and multi-day events simultaneously, and she continues to accumulate results across the broadest competitive range in the sport.
