The Hardrock 100\u2019s clockwise route was about 1.7 miles longer than the last running, back in 2018, because of a reroute through the Animas Forks and the addition of Forest Service trails.<\/p>\n

The extra mileage, however, didn\u2019t stop Kilian Jornet and Courtney Dauwalter from setting new course records over the weekend.<\/p>\n

Jornet was first overall in the endurance run, finishing just under 15 minutes ahead of Francois D\u2019Haene in 21 hours, 36 minutes and 24 seconds. D\u2019Haene, who set a course record and counter-clockwise record last year, was only about five minutes slower on the new clockwise route this year, and was second in 21:51:19. Dakota Jones placed third in 23:06:17.<\/p>\n

\u201cKilian is just an uber athlete; he\u2019s just that good,\u201d said run director Dale Garland. \u201cWith the talent of Dakota and Francois, he was pushed the entire way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garland said the three of them ran together for most of the first half of the race. Jornet and D\u2019Haene, however, eventually ran away from Jones. Then, in the final 4 miles of the race, Jornet pulled away from D\u2019Haene to take the win. He has now won the Hardrock 100 five times.<\/p>\n

Daniel Jung (25:53:43) and Jeff Browning (26:17:43) rounded out the top five.<\/p>\n

Dauwalter, meanwhile, finished sixth overall and handily won the women\u2019s division in 26:44:36.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Case was the second woman to cross in 33:52:40 while Hannah Green of Silverton finished third in 34:26:39.<\/p>\n

\u201cFairly early we knew (Courtney) was having a good day and wasn\u2019t going to be pushed as hard as the guys,\u201d Garland said. \u201cShe\u2019s such an excellent athlete that she\u2019s able to not depend on other people pushing her to do well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diana Finkel set the previous women\u2019s course record in 2009 (27:18:24).<\/p>\n

Dauwalter\u2019s record came a year after she had to withdraw from the run.<\/p>\n

This year, 115 of the run\u2019s 145 participants were able to finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought that was really good,\u201d Garland said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty good testament to the preparedness of the runners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three runners from Durango were able to finish the race. Drew Gunn completed his ninth Hardrock, placing 47th in 38:40:48.<\/p>\n

Maggie Guterl, running in her first Hardrock, finished 55th in 39:29:27.<\/p>\n

Neal Matosky, running in his sixth total ultra race ever, placed 57th in 39:40:13.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had some major issues but got it done,\u201d Guterl said. \u201cAnd at one point it was cool because all three of us Durango folks were at the Pole Creek Aid station at the same time. And we all got it done!\u201d<\/p>\n

Three women from Silverton also finished the endurance challenge: Greene, Meghan Hicks (36:32:52) and Amanda Grimes (46:17:49).<\/p>\n

Kirk Apt, meanwhile, completed the Hardrock for the 26th time (105th, 46:42:59).<\/p>\n

Paul Sweeney and Jeff List both finished the run for the 10th time.<\/p>\n

List placed 64th in 31:03:53. Sweeney finished 92nd in 40:39:00.<\/p>\n

John Kelley, who is one of only 15 runners that have completed the Barkley ultra marathon, finished 11th overall in 31:29:32. \u201cThat\u2019s a pretty unique double,\u201d Garland said.<\/p>\n

The runners also got some good weather this year, with a few showers but no lightning.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good weekend for ultra running,\u201d Garland said. \u201cBig thanks to the town of Silverton. Big thanks to the 300 volunteers and a big, big thanks to the core run committee for getting us back to what we\u2019re known for: hospitality and treating the runners right.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
