The best Ultra marathon runners?

Hi all,

  Might be a bit of a hard question to answer. Firstly who is the best Ultra Marathon runner or runners in the world and who is top of the tree in the UK?

Just with the Olympics coming up we will see who is the best in their chosen sport, but Ultra marathon racing is a bit different. I'm not even sure what criteria would make you the best?? Most races won in a year or won the most difficult race or won the furthest race possible?. When Googled the name I kept getting was Scott Jurek (Same chap from born to run) . But I was wondering if in the UK we had somebody who is pretty decent and perhaps their name keeps popping up again and again when certain events are mentioned. Just curious as to who these amazing athletes are.

Any help appreciated
