It was a weekend for course records to be broken across the country at the Hardrock 100 and the Tahoe Rim Trail 100, plus results from the Teton Mountain Runs 50k in Wyoming and more in the July 16 Ultra Weekend Recap.
Back to Colorado this week to start off our Ultra Weekend Recap, the ultrarunning world again witnessed greatness in the form of Leadville’s Courtney Dauwalter breaking her own course record set in 2022 by 30 minutes and establishing a new counterclockwise record by over an hour in 26 hours, 14 minutes and 8 seconds at the Hardrock 100 in Silverton. She was followed by Anne-Lise Rousset Seguret out of Thorens Glieres, France, in 27 hours, 29 minutes and 55 seconds, now the fifth-fastest time. Third place went to another Leadville resident, Annie Hughes, in 32 hours, 13 minutes and 3 seconds. The men’s race saw Aurelien Dunand-Pallaz from Saint Jorioz, France, win in 23 hours and 7 seconds, slotting in as the eighth-fastest time on the course. Benant Marmissolle of Tardets Sorholus, France, came in second in 23 hours, 50 minutes and 6 seconds, and Spain’s Javier Dominguez rounded out the podium in 26 hours, 12 minutes and 1 second.

Fascinating way to promote course “records” at Hardrock, clockwise or not. Next year half could start each way, with a chance of two records. Some could start at the pass, for a “high” record, others in town for a “low” record. Endless possibilities.
