Tyler C. Andrews (born May 4, 1990)[1] is an American long-distance runner. A trail running, ultra-marathon, and mountaineering specialist, he earned a silver medal at the 2016 IAU 50 km World Championships[2] and, in 2019, he won the USA Track and Field 50 Mile National Championship by winning Tussey Mountainback 50 Miler.[2] As of 2024, Andrews competes for La Sportiva's professional team.[3]

Andrews has set more than 65 Fastest known time running records, including the speed records for ascent and descent of Mt. Kilimanjaro[4] and Mt. Aconcagua[5] in 2023, the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trail[6] in 2024, and Ojos del Salado in 2021.[7]

In addition, Andrews qualified for and ran in the 2016 and 2020 United States Olympic Trials Marathon, qualifying with a 10th place, 2-hour, 16-minute, 59-second finish at the 2014 California International Marathon[8] and a 2-hour, 17-minute, 44-second finish to win the 2018 Vermont City Marathon.[9]

[edit]

Andrews grew up in Concord, Massachusetts and was diagnosed with Aplastic anemia, a rare and often fatal blood disease, at age 6 in January, 1997.[10] He was treated successfully throughout 1997 at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts and has been in remission ever since.[11]

High school

College

[edit]

Andrews attended Skidmore College for one year[13] before transferring to Tufts University where he ran NCAA Division III Cross Country and Track and field and studied mechanical engineering.[14] He qualified for the 10,000m race at the 2012 NCAA Division 3 Track & Field National Championship, where he placed 11th and the 2012 NCAA Division 3 Cross Country Championship, where he placed 104th.[15] He graduated in 2013 with personal best times of 14:45.89 for 5,000m and 30:22.82 for 10,000m.[15]
