Ulta runner Courtney Dauwalter has a way of getting people who've never even owned a pair of trail running shoes to sit up and take notice of off-road events – especially after last year's unprecedented triple crown of winning the UTMB, Hard Rock 100 and Western States. Now, her magic seems to have rubbed off on the Transgrancanaria race.
The Colorado-based runner kicked off 2024 with another win at the 126 km Canary Islands event, coming in two hours ahead of the next female runner and placing seventh overall. Her victory may have helped boost interest in the event, as organizers announced on Tuesday that all bibs have sold out six months in advance for the first time ever.
