It's been a big year for smashing course records at the world's most iconic ultra marathons. First, David Roche felled the longstanding record at the Leadville 100, then Katie Schide dethroned Courtney Dauwalter at the UTMB. Now another record has fallen over the weekend at Colorado's iconic Run Rabbit Run race, which saw Emilie Mann demolish the women's course record.
The Canadian Trail runner, sponsored by Merrell, won the Steamboat Springs race in 19:48:05 – nearly half an hour faster than Michele Yates' 2013 time. The tough course takes place on trails and rough Jeep roads through Routt National Forest, covering roughly 101.5 miles, with 20,391 feet of climbing and desceng. It's one of the courses that Dauwaulter cut her teeth on, winning in 2016 about 90 minutes slower than Mann's time.
