Anton Krupicka (born 2 August 1983) is an American ultra-runner. He has won the Leadville 100 twice,[1] the Miwok 100K,[2] the Rocky Raccoon 100 Miler,[3] the Collegiate Peaks 50 Miler, the White River 50 Miler twice (Set 2010 CR 6:25:29),[4] the High Mountain 50k and the Estes Park Marathon.
Krupicka has set 28 Fastest Known Time running records, including the speed record for the 28-mile Maroon Bells 4 Passes Loop in 2009.[5][6] He also came in second in the Western States Endurance Run in 2010 in what would have been a course record time of 15:13:53.[7]
Due to a running career highly influenced by injuries, Krupicka has branched out into other outdoor activities such as climbing, skiing, and especially biking.[8] In August 2016, Krupicka and mountain climber Stefan Griebel set the fastest known time for the Longs Peak Triathlon,[9] biking 79 miles from Boulder, Colorado, running 14 miles and climbing the Diamond on Longs Peak in 09:06:00.[10]
In September 2024, Krupicka placed second in the Grindstone Trail Running Festival by UTMB 100 Miles,[11] earning him qualification for the 2025 UTMB World Series final in Chamonix, France, his first appearance since 2014.
His surname is pronounced as "crew-pitch-kuh".
