Hi horv,

For Courtney Dauwalter are we talking "won" as in across all starters or across all women starters?

Winning against a mixed field would be beyond impressive!

She won across all women starters.

She has, however, won in mixed field before. In 2017, she won the Moab 240 outright.

The longer the distance (see: this 240mi race and the AT FKT) the closer the division between male and female (and also age).

Pretty sure she was the first place finisher overall. I am not sure how much of a gender advantage there is over those distances. Similarly, age is less of a factor too, with older athletes regularly beating those who are a decade younger.
