Jamie Hunyor

Jamie Hunyor is an ultrarunner and botanist based in Nevada City, California. After years of organic vegetable farming in the Sierra foothills, Jamie rediscovered trail running on the South Yuba Trail. In his first season of racing ultramarathons, he won the Siskiyou Outback 100k, clocked a 3:17 50k at Ruth Anderson Memorial Endurance Run, and finished 8th at the JFK 50 Mile. In 2026, he’s stepping up to the Canyons 100k & also taking his first shot at the 100 mile distance. When he’s not running, he’s somewhere off-trail looking for rare plants on ridge tops & in steep drainages in the Tahoe National Forest.
