“Shortney” – The Running Collection in Collaboration with Courtney Dauwalter
The Minnesota native who has been sponsored by Salomon since 2017 started her career running track and doing cross-country skiing. In recent years she has dominated the world of ultra-trail running with countless female wins and numerous overall top 10 finishes. Her wins include the Hardrock 100, Mount Fuji 100, Western States 100, for which she holds the women’s course records, as well as other long distance ultra trails like UTMB®, Grand Raid de la Réunion, Transgrancanaria, Ultra-Trail Cape Town® and Tahoe 200. During the 2023 season she became the first runner (male or female) in history to win the Western States, Hardrock and UTMB® in single season. In 2024, she was 3rd overall at the Mount Fuji 100, 4th overall at Hardrock 100 and 2nd overall at the Ultra Trail Métropole Nice Côte d’Azur 100, while winning the women's title in each race. In 2025, Courtney will be at the start line of three ultra races:
- Cocodona 250 on May 5th
- Lavaredo 120K in June
- UTMB® in August
The loose-fitting technical collection launched in 2023 with the iconic Shortney, emblematic of Courtney's look, now includes the S/LAB Genesis trail running shoe (her favorite from the range), and the Sense Pro 6 hydration vest, inspired by our trail running champion.
"I never imagined that we would be able to create long shorts for everyone!” said Courtney, excited to share this clothing option with the whole world of female runners. “Growing up, I always preferred long shorts because I was more comfortable in them. Comfort is key and I know there will be many people who are thrilled to have a lightweight, long-inseam option to run in.”
The oversized technical trail shorts and technical T-shirt inspired by Dauwalter combine ultra-comfort and lightness for long-distance runners looking to push their limits like Courtney… but maybe not quite to that level.
The S/LAB Genesis Limited Courtney Edition combines bold colors and graphics to celebrate Courtney Dauwalter and her pioneering performances, and the Sense Pro 6 Limited Courtney Edition is no different, infused with her vibrant energy with a pared-down design and bold color details.
“Before my second attempt at 100 miles, and what ended up being my first finish of 100 miles, my mom gave me a card with a little peace sign coin in it and a note that ended by saying "You're stronger than you think!". I decided to carry that peace sign coin with me during that race and every time some doubt crept in, I would remember the coin in my pocket and the words in the note. It was a reminder of family and a symbol of belief. Having that in my pocket and my head the entire race helped me get that first 100-mile finish! Ever since then, I always carried the peace sign coin with me during races. We turned that peace sign into my initials, which we now put on the Shortney collection along with the quote "You're stronger than you think!" because that little sprinkle of belief can be the exact thing we all need to push through the toughest moments. ”

“The "Reality to Dream" design came to be after many conversations with the Salomon team about the experience of pushing past our limits and spending time in the Pain Cave. We spoke a lot about the unique mixture of feelings and thoughts that happen while in the Pain Cave: being out in nature surrounded by beautiful trees and views, combined with the focus required to stay in the cave and keep chiseling away at the back corners, and then adding in the dream of a serene place to escape to - or is that a hallucination? When we have the opportunity to do something difficult, we should always go for it and I hope these shorts can accompany many people on that journey. A visit to the Pain Cave is always a reason to celebrate!”
