With just 2 weeks to go until Ultra-Trail Cape Town 2019, plenty of eyes are on announcements of international elites lining up to tackle the 100km event. It’s no secret that Courtney Dauwalter is heading this way, and on a good day she could well challenge the men’s field. Courtney hails from the US, and has podium finishes at the likes of UTMB and the MOAB 240 race, where she crossed the line first overall after 2 days, 9 hours and 59 minutes, 10 hours ahead of the second place runner.

Ever heard of that saying, ‘all the gear and no idea”? It’s usually aimed at trail runners who arrive at the start line with every single piece of gear known to mankind. You know the ones; compression socks, arm warmers, multi-layered tops, elite tights, a cap with a Buff securing it in place, the trendiest hydration pack, GPS watches, slow-release magnesium patches. You name it, they’re sporting it. Generally speaking, they’re overtaken by the majority of the field in the first few kays (who are wearing far less gear I might add).
