"Runners are the fittest group of injured people I know." Hal Higdon.

Courtney’s dad offering a piggy back ride like “I will literally carry you the rest of the way to the finish line” is so sweet.
I’m not crying your crying

[MaryM]

She is just one class act. I shed a tear when she was cheering on her fellow athletes. Courtney is just the epitome of a true athlete. Also, man I LOVE her parents - easily known where she gets her personality from.

[skinzocm]

man i get so happy and motivated everytime i watch courtney <3

9:31 "I like pain, but this one was..."

Now there's an ultrarunner. Love me some Courtney Dauwalter.

[dijanavolkmer]

I like her a lot. Her enthusiasm and kindness is something that makes her one of the best athletes ever :)

[kevinbacon]

She’s such an inspiration. She adds a certain humanity to ultras that not a lot of people do. Don’t get me wrong it’s an amazing community but to see someone so “normal” eating nachos and drinking beers doing what she does is incredible.

Courtney “The nacho enthusiast/mid race candy grabber” Dauwalter

[emmajars]

She’s my favorite athlete for so many reasons and honestly the only the one I would label as my role model.
I also enjoy that they add “nacho enthusiast” to her title.

[cameronmathews]

Courtney is all class. She is such a beautiful force.

[elsverschatse]

I adore this video because it helps spread the message to all people, not just runners, that it is good to not be perfect. Even for an athlete as talented and trained as she is, injuries happen and quitting a challenge you set yourself happens. And then the way she deals with it: head up high and saying: "that's why the 100 mile distance is so fun." I would be crying from disappointment, but she keeps up the good spirit, even in pain. Please continue spreading this message and inspiring people all over the world, from different walks of life, passionate about running for all kinds of reasons.

I've been waiting for more Courtney content! 🙌

[alexdyter]

Loved how they say it is an competitive race and the top three stop for a photo on top of the first Mountain!

[rsj]

Courtney’s attitude and perspective are beautiful. What a great athlete and human being!!!!

[pumpkinpie]

This made me emotional! There are few things better in this world than seeing talent and kindness combined. Truly an example. Well done!

[tommyrq]

She’s a Minnesotan. That explains the nice and positive part. And the parents. And the accent. But she’s a gifted, incomprehensibly tough athlete on top of all that. Impressive.

[nathanbtoben]

Courtney's parents are amazing. Makes more sense how Courtney is a world wonder.

[Predazord]

Really hard not to like her. Amazing athlete

[animaloverdani]

literally such a queen. Trailblazing while also cheering and lifting up other women. This is what makes her such an extraordinary athlete

[bettyjeanpoznak]

"Make it happen, you've got this".
I love your heart for the other runners.
You are truly remarkable and a force to be reckoned with.
I love your parents as well.
Today I ran /walked 7 miles and I thought of your many long runs and it kept me going. Thank you. Never ever change please. :)
