Diane Van Deren (born February 20, 1960) is an American ultra-runner who won the Yukon Arctic Ultra 300 in 2009.
She was the first woman to complete the 430-mile Yukon Arctic Ultra 300.
A former professional tennis player, she took up running to help stave off epileptic seizures, for which in 1997 she had a lobectomy.
