Courtney Dauwalter (born February 13, 1985) is an American ultramarathon runner and former teacher.
The Swiss Alps 160KM is the longest and hardest race at the Swiss Alps 100. With a total elevation gain of 10'150 meters it sure will test runners to the max on the course.
The course being so challenging it helps a lot that you will be enjoying incredible views like running along the Aletsch Glacier, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage, and traversing over the 124 meter (406 feet) Belalp-Riederalp suspension bridge , the 160 meter (524 feet) Aspi-Titter suspension bridge , and the 280 meter (918 feet) suspension bridge Mühlebach-Fürgangen .
After the Belalp aid station there is a tough out-and-back up to the hightest point of the course at 9,150 feet above sea-level. And, of course, the prudal 3.2 miles and 3,697 feet uphill after the Binn aid station going on top of the Breithorn. Lastly, after the Rossald aid station, runners will go over the Fülhorn which has a very short but very technical section.
Finisher, who finish this course in less than 24 hours, will receive a sub-24 hour antic silver belt buckle. Whoever finish between 24 and 49 hours will receive a sub-48 hours antic brass belt buckle. We also give out female/male age group awards (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+). See the race weekend schedule page for the check-in and race starting times. The overall cutoff-time is 49 hours and there are 16 fully stocked aid stations.
Finishers are official qualifiers for the popular Hardrock 100 miler and the oldest 100-miler in the USA the Western States 100. They also earn a preferred qualifier for the Badwater 135. On top of this, the male and female winners of the 160 km earn a guaranteed entry into the next Badwater 135.

That's so typical of Courtney: supporting others, cheering them on, relaxed and humble. She is such an inspiration. Great video by Tom. Thanks for sharing it.

Oh boy, I was scared of the bridges just watching this! This is a beautiful course but not for the fainthearted! You did great!

So nett, ich würde das auch gerne einmal erleben, liege aber gerade mit Corona im Krankenbett😢 Dankeschön für das mitteilen.

Kudos to you man! You tried. You went into the arena! As Roosevelt’s quote goes: “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly (…) if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”. Well done for trying!

Thanks, it was because of your video about The Swiss Alps 100 from last year I really wanted to give it a try, so thanks you for sharing your experience and being the motivation to try: face your fears :) Next year I'll try again :)
