David Goggins has added another brutal ultra to his resume, finishing the 2025 Bigfoot 200 in 66 hours, 4 minutes, and 17 seconds, good for 23rd place overall.
The 50-year-old ultrarunner, bestselling author, former Navy SEAL, and internet sensation covered just shy of 200 miles through the rugged Cascade Mountains of Washington, climbing more than 30,000 feet in the process.
His race tracker showed a moving time of just over two days, with a little more than 20 hours spent stopped. His moving pace averaged 4.1 mph, a decent clip given the brutal terrain.
Destination Trail Races, the event organizers, shared their congratulations on social media after greeting him at the finish line in Randle, Washington.
“Fantastic finish by @davidgoggins… We were honored to have him compete in this year’s Bigfoot 200”, they posted, hinting that his next stop could be the Arizona Monster 250 later this year.
The Bigfoot 200 is notorious among ultrarunners. Starting near Mount St. Helens, the route winds over ridgelines, through old growth forests, and past glacier fed streams, with views of the region’s Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount Hood before dropping to the finish.
It is part of the Triple Crown of 200 milers in the U.S., alongside the Tahoe 200 and Moab 240, and is as much about managing fatigue and nutrition as it is about raw fitness.
For Goggins, this finish is the latest chapter in a career built on pushing physical and mental boundaries. He has completed and often excelled in some of the toughest endurance events on the planet, from the Badwater 135 to the Moab 240, and once set a world record for pull ups in 24 hours.
His efforts has often been tied to raising funds for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a cause he has championed for nearly two decades.
