Miguel Benitez

About

Miguel Benítez is a Spanish trail runner competing for the ASICS Trail Team who has been building an impressive profile on the international UTMB World Series circuit. He placed second in a 50K race in May 2025 and was among the top performers at the 2026 Transgrancanaria in the Short Series World Trail Majors. His consistent top-five finishes across UTMB World Series races have driven his UTMB Index into the elite tier, placing him among the world's leading ultra runners in his distance category. A relatively recent arrival on the international scene, Benítez has shown he can compete at the front of major trail races with runners who have years more experience at the top level.
