Anton (Tony) Krupicka is one of the young stars of ultra-running in the US.

Nominated for an Everest Award in 2007, Anton continues to train in hopes of increasing his presence in the ultra scene. A minimalist in running and life, Anton strives for simplicity. He graduated in 2005 from the Colorado College and is currently pursuing a master's degree (geology) at Montana State University while running as much as possible.
