For the previous 10 years, I’ve posted some year-end ultrarunning awards. I wish to introduce the eleventh annual AJW’s Taproom Yr in Ultrarunning Awards for 2022.
You’ll be able to take a look at my awards from the tip of 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. I did one thing a bit totally different in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.
These are usually not scientific in any means, and the standards are made up fully by me. They signify a number of North American athletes competing in ultramarathons in the US and overseas.
My rankings on no account signify an exhaustive examine, nor do they fake to be totally consultant of all that occurred in 2022 — so take them or depart them. Right here goes!

- Dakota Jones’s course file on the Javelina 100 Mile
Ladies’s Rookie of the Yr
[Author’s Note: For the purposes of my Rookie of the Year award, I consider a runner to be a rookie if 2022 was their first season racing at a highly competitive level. In most cases, the candidates considered for this award have completed a few races in prior years, but 2022 marked the first time they made an impact on the national or international scene beyond a race or two. For me, my “rookie” litmus-test example is Anton Krupicka in 2006 when he came out of nowhere and won the Leadville 100 Mile.]

AJW’s Beer of the Week
This week’s Beer of the Week comes from Jackalope Brewing Firm in Nashville, Tennessee. Bear Walker maple brown ale is a deep brown ale infused with maple syrup. A easy and eminently drinkable beer — it is a “breakfast beer” if ever there was one!
