Kate Courtney and Keegan Swenson win Marathon MTB World Championships
Americans dominated the 2025 Maraton MTB World Championships on Saturday in Switzerland, with Kate Courtney winning the women's event and Keegan Swenson the men's.
Courtney led for the entire 125 km race and crossed the finish line three minutes and 44 seconds ahead of Anna Weinbeer of Switzerland and almost five minutes ahead of Mona Mitterwallner of Austria.
Swenson was fourth at the first checkpoint but worked his way up to the lead halfway through the race. In the end, he won by 25 seconds over Samuele Porro of Italy and three minutes and 42 seconds ahead of Hector Leonardo Peaz Leon of Colombia.
The course boasted 5,025 metres of elevation gain, more than Leadville 100, which Courtney and Swenson also won earlier in the Summer.
