Kristina Randrup wins at McDowell Mountain, Courtney Olsen guts it out for top U.S. finish at IAU 100k Worlds, Western States and Hardrock lottery results, USATF MUT awards, and more.
Great recap - as always. To TUM readers: The Harding Hustle takes place in (sorta) my backyard: I've done a self-curated version of the Harding Hustle a couple times (the winter edition, in the snow, was my favorite). At any rate, it is a tough but runnable course, with
L O N G ascents and descents, as it takes you all the way up from ~1200 ft to the highest point in Orange County, Santiago Peak, at 5600 ft. And, given it's timing in the dead of summer, it's a HOT race. Above, all, however, it's a gorgeous run. 12/10 would recommend!
Would love to see Des Linden compete beyond 50k.
You and me both!

Great ultra minute! Thank you Ken and hope everyone in your household feels better soon.
