She is the only athlete of either gender to win all three IAU Ultra Road World Championships: 50K, 100K, and 24-hour. She is a four-time IAU International Ultra Runner of the Year.
At the 2023 Spartathlon, Herron finished in 22:35:21, setting a course record and becoming the first woman under 24 hours for the 246-kilometer Athens-to-Sparta race. In March 2024, she broke the 33-year-old six-day world record with 560.330 miles at the lululemon FURTHER event.
