Courtney Dauwalter smashed the course record in the women’s Western States – the worlds’ oldest 100-mile race – taking almost 80 minutes off the previous leading time. Meanwhile, Tom Evans, a former soldier, became the first Briton to win the men’s event.
Arriving at a remote part of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, 379 runners – who gained a place in the race by winning a lottery – set off from Olympic Valley, California, before finishing in Auburn, a city in Placer County that is part of the Sacramento metropolitan area.
