I don't believe men dominate women in ultra-endurance racing. IIRC though the sample size is quite small it may be that extremely long distance racing actually favors women.

It's always some obscure exception, as if that doesn't prove the rule.

Agreed. Though in this case it seems to me OP is just providing an interesting tidbit. They didn't try to morph that fact into hand-waving of the vast difference in all other sports.

I think most ultra-endurance races tend to have an overall price where everyone competes in the same race.

I recall one race which had an overall price and a women's price. The same person won both and that caused slight kerfuffle.
