Instagram: Destination Trail RacesDavid Goggins has completed his first ultramarathon in five years, finishing the 2025 Bigfoot 200 in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. The former Navy SEAL covered roughly 200 miles in 66 hours, 4 minutes, and 17 seconds, placing 23rd overall in the endurance race.
The Bigfoot 200 takes runners through more than 30,000 feet of total elevation gain across remote trails and rugged terrain. According to race tracking data, Goggins maintained a moving pace of 4.1 miles per hour, spending just over two full days in motion and more than 20 hours stopped for rest and recovery.
Race organizers acknowledged his finish on social media, writing, “Fantastic finish by David Goggins… We were honored to have him compete in this year’s Bigfoot 200.”

Goggins is a retired U.S. Navy SEAL and former U.S. Air Force Tactical Air Control Party member who has built a reputation as one of the world’s most recognized endurance athletes.
He has completed dozens of ultramarathons, triathlons, and ultra-distance cycling events, and once held the Guinness World Record for most pull-ups in 24 hours. His 2018 memoir, Can’t Hurt Me, became a bestseller and detailed his military career, athletic achievements, and personal challenges.
His appearance at the Bigfoot 200 marked his first competitive ultrarunning event since 2020. The race is part of the Triple Crown of 200s series, which also includes the Tahoe 200 and Moab 240.
Earlier in August, a drunk man in Brazil joined a marathon mid-race in flip flops… and still managed to bring home a medal.
