Courtney Dauwalter announced yesterday that she's heading to France to compete for the first time in the Nice Côte d'Azur by UTMB. We're used to seeing the Colorado-based ultra runner trot off around the globe to take part in trail's biggest races, but this event could carry extra weight for both Dauwalter and her fans.
Writing on Instagram, the ultra running superstar said she was heading to the 100-mile course in the south of France that leads runners from the mountains to the sea to "see what’s left in the tank for the 2024 race season." This year has already seen her set the women's course record in the Hardrock 100 and Mt. Fuji 100 Mile and take first in the Transgrancanaria.
