Courtney Dauwalter, 2023 UTMB Champion, Interview

An interview with Courtney Dauwalter after her win of the 2023 UTMB.

[@katherineschexneider585]

I don't think I've ever seen someone who is so talented and so humble at the same time. And so candid. I am awestruck by her.

[@jillsy2815]

Well said!

[@WalkingwithWendy]

I agree. From the way she talks one would think she lost.

[@Brockdorf]

Meghan Hicks is such an incredible interviewer. This became even more apparent when listening to UTMB coverage by other organizations.

[@quitethevoyeur]

Yes she's astonishing

[@WalkingwithWendy]

I agree. She gets the most out of Courtney.

[@toomuchrespect]

I get the impression they're good friends..

[@janefreeman995]

Yes, I'm watching the vuelta espana cycling race and after following the whole season, most of the interviewers could take some cues here. Then again, for many english is not their first language....

[@nathankempf1990]

Everyone is talking about the Triple Crown, and rightfully so, but let's not forget she's also the current title holder of Diagonale des Fous! No one before had been the current winner of the four major 100 miles races! What a stunning athlete, thank you for inspiring us all.

[@calvinbailey4808]

✊

[@karinavoggel5741]

Was that THIS year? wow

[@toomuchrespect]

She would never remind you either.. you'd have to know.

[@dostuffiguess]

She's the greatest. Also, these are by far the best questions I've heard anyone ask her since the race!

[@KMCB12]

There is no interview duo in ultras that makes me laugh more than these two.They are always such a joy to watch.

[@expatadventureturkey9324]

What an epic year for Courtney, congratulations on setting the first ever Trifecta Win! You are a true inspiration for all men and woman around the world. 🙏👑🐐

[@TexasCountryLiving]

“Not having an excuse queued up”. Ouch, I feel that. Congrats Courtney!

[@chrisbrandon833]

What Courtney has done this year won't be seen again for a generation or more imo, absolutely unfathomable year .... What an athlete 🎉❤

[@JulieGayheart]

Such a Class Act and Role Model. Truly the G.O.A.T 🐐

[@jeaniekim9951]

Great interview, Meghan. Really enjoyed the questions you asked and the your commentary!

[@matthewvanleeuwen9086]

Courtney’s 2023: Bandera - 1st Place Transgrancanaria - 1st Place Western States - 1st Place Hardrock - 1st Place UTMB - 1st Place Most elite runners would love to win even one of those races just once in their career! She is undeniably the GOAT!

[@brucerhodes8197]

There are some men that run faster, and win a lot of races... but none of them are as well known as Courtney, she's the best ambassador for the sport...

[@aidanoc19]

I've never heard a winner of any endurance event sound quite so exhausted by the experience as Courtney here. Its like she's glad she won, she's just not sure it was a great idea! One of those things where as you recover, you'll appreciate it more, just right now it hurts.

[@MNP208]

🙏 Your summer journey was Amazing to watch!!! I hope that Courtney and Kevin can take a really nice relaxing vacation together before starting to train again!!

[@masonwillis708]

I hope she knows in her heart how fucking incredible she is. There may be a handful of men quicker, but no one is more of a badass. The GOAT.

[@affluentforager5704]

Courtney is the master at compartmentalizing events. She can focus on one thing at a time ... Just so amazing

[@amyfriesland723]

She is so amazing!! Just in awe!! And the fact that she is humble, and kind just makes it even better!!

[@elizabethera39]

I Love that she can participate, and Crush it, in this Extreme sport but SHE is not extreme in her personality ❤ Super positive, Super humble, Super Awesome! SOO many Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

[@ellenvoyage594]

What a great interview!

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

Simply the best. What a teacher Courtney will be for the kids growing up now .

[@franritchie4233]

Courtney!!! Thanks for this content!!

[@doernerrr]

Beyond awesome race Courtney. I was so worried a disaster was going to occur in the last miles with the combination of highly technical trail, exhausted legs, and the crush and confusion of the spectator crowd (group run). It was such a relief to see Courtney get to the finish line safely. Bravo.

[@toddparker3077]

Thank you Courtney and iRunFar for the post race interview! I am guessing more runners will be willing to attempt The Double now that Courtney has nailed The Triple! I think even Meghan's fatigue was showing through in this interview, as Meghan congratulated Courtney for the "2020 UTMB". hAHa

[@iRunFarMedia]

Whoops! That's funny. -Meghan

[@KTravRuNEr]

I’d love to know her Salomon gear choices (pack and shoes specifically), why those particularly and then her nutrition plan. She’s so amazing and inspiring. The end of top 10 weren’t even close to her. So sick! Love it.

[@stenna9274]

She’s from another, far better planet. I hate how people are saying she’s the _first_ to win all the three big 100 mile races in one year, like there are others coming. Nobody’s ever going to be able to do that again.

[@Nayz13]

What an inspiring human woman Courtney is!

[@helaynelehman668]

So deserving of this incredibly hard work. You are such a very rare human to observe. 😁❤️.....i have to wonder if there will be kids faaar down the road that will have the privilege of having this woman as their teacher. She would be a frickin' BLAST😂🎊🎉🎊

[@johnfowlertrailrunning]

I just LOVE Courtney’s approach to ultra running! Fascinating and so inspirational!

[@yorkbeachrunner]

So incredible to watch! Love Courtney!!! The interviews are always fun!!! Her running is inspiring!And it will be fun to see what she does next!!!The trails are so much better with Courtney on them!

[@cameronmueller]

Can't wait for fall too Courtney! Congrats again! Way to go on a great year.

[@davidbaker5725]

Thank you for being my new-found sports role model, I am so impressed by your mindset, amazing attitude, your gratitude towards the people in your life who support you and your amazing achievements.

[@timguerra6801]

Just plain 🐐 💪🏻

[@TheSaxyjaz]

Such an epic moment in sports history!!! Big big congrats Courtney!!!! Was super exciting watching you crush this Trifecta!!!

[@chefjonsf]

Go Courtney! Gonna be showing my newborn daughter these vids of you when she gets older. Thanks for being a beacon of inspiration for both men and women ❤

[@jillsy2815]

Wow I can't even begin to fathom the mental fortitude it takes to keep running when ur not even sure your legs will hold you! She truly is the GOAT! Also such a sweet kind humble person as well! Fantastic interview by Meghan! ❤🎉🙏🏽

[@afuntanilla]

thank you for sharing this with us all. so awesome.

[@davideisman6243]

Absolute savage! Congrats on the total domination of the trifecta! Such an amazing and humble athlete. 🍻

[@williamrideg9506]

Stunning effort.

[@lenkaj402]

Great Interview, Thank you! 😊

[@puravida05tica]

So interesting how Courtney talks about adding new pieces to the ultra puzzle to learn about running and recovery. Very scientific approach. I don't know what type of teacher she used to be, but I'd bet she was some type of science teacher. Thank you for the interview!

[@MarcoYotta]

great champion you made us on fire ! congratulations Courtney you made history for ever !!

[@xxxxxx1427]

Courtney Dauwalter, Legend❤is a huge inspiration

[@TomLarkin_]

A truly remarkable athlete.

[@cejay67]

There is just so much to love with Courtney.

[@Shevock]

Amazing. Enjoy that Fall break.

[@katis999]

Amazing!

[@TheCordilleranSun]

She is Wonderwoman in flesh and blood. What an amazing athlete.

[@rblbatb]

Awesome interview. Loved it!

[@luizclaudiocosta3071]

Greatest of all time.

[@jasonables8119]

"...not have an excuse queued up." - The sage advice of THE GOAT.

[@mariflores223]

Love Courtney!!❤️❤️

[@PetrvsMT]

Besides being the greatest, Courtney's an amazing human being. GOAT!

[@lmcov4]

Goat of all goats.

[@TexasCountryLiving]

Lots of goats, only one GOAT.

[@davidfrankenfield3742]

Totally dominating the field in 3 very different events. What’s next?! I hope she gives the Colorado Trail another crack or perhaps explore other FKTs around the states for next year. Regardless what she pursues, it’s a joy to see her explore new challenges with pure curiosity.

[@jimduyck]

Ah the interview duo that always included its own laugh track. 😃

[@djclass005]

Great interview, is this the only post UTMB interview Courtney did? I didn’t find another yet.. shows how much Courtney likes likes Meghan and irunfar!

[@laurafasc6926]

Even in 2 dimensions, they are such a cool combo

[@dbk81]

No other person will ever do the triple. Ever. Courtney is a living legend, and from what I’ve seen an top notch human. What an ambassador for the sport. She’s amazing.

[@tellyourfriendssportswear]

I actually think she just inspired an entire generation to do a triple

[@dbk81]

@@tellyourfriendssportswear I should have clarified that I meant win all three events in the same year.

[@alesiabock9305]

Fantastic Courtney! Yes at the end she looked like Forrest Gump with everyone running behind her

[@laurencefichelle3715]

So impressive

[@michaellaverty1844]

Could this Woman not be Human? Courtney has had the summer for the Books!

[@marlinweekley51]

Love this interview 😀👍

[@drewgb]

🐐🐐🐐 All day.

[@krissifadwa]

Courtney! 🥰♥️♥️

[@fuscia13]

Courtney is so rad 😎

[@LanceWinslow]

You know, I like this gal, she sure sounds like a super human being in addition to being a superstar athlete. Great stuff, cool interview.

[@shartmann2008]

Do Hard Things... I'm not sure that guy meant THIS... but dang, you are amazingly mentally tough Ms. Minnesota!

[@osloslosl]

Here’s a really niche Q: is Meghan the Cheryl Waters (KEXP music channel) of ultra running? Both super friendly and really skilled interviewers, love em!

[@doriswlongAgoandfarAway]

Love Courtney.

[@slimdaniels3322]

She’s gotta be on par with the Michael Jordan, tiger woods, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky of her sport. She is such an inspiration wow I aspire to be like this women

[@IrishHawk824]

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest female athlete of all time!

[@signe2553]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hotelvasthorizon]

Can I join Courtney's UTMB group run? 🙋‍♀

[@kathryntiede4751]

Yes! The group run!

[@rizzomatt]

🐐

[@gluon8760]

❤

[@agnesiawalandouw946]

Can you give me information how do i connect with Queen C? Does she has a trail running camp? I'm Indonesian living in US and also a trail runner and i can not find any community for doing training. Please. Im desperate

[@beverlyreynolds5001]

So good 😍

[@hmunoz314]

Now relax Courtney! 🐐

[@MT-pi3ct]

American athlete of the year.

[@austinshields8627]

GOAT!

[@turkeysandwich001]

Courtney and Meghan means Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider!!

[@eliza-janescott7261]

Someone on the video team, please frame these awesome interviews better.🥰

[@dfc3usaf]

Salomon or Courtney need to release Triple Crown and Paincave Tees!!!😀😀😀

[@mikeleon3128]

BAMF GOAT

[@joshbrown9285]

Soooo she is the best ultra runner of all time, right?

[@delanouvellearthur2164]

Diagonale des fous Courtney ???

[@romeoiipunzalan1079]

TDS maybe? or PTL with Kevin?

[@michaelgourlay1746]

Poor backdrop. There is more to see in Chamonix.

[@sylvainbuffat6058]

Nevers Nevers Nevers,!!!! She take off her glasses....😡

[@iRunFarMedia]

It's my opinion that we all should choose to respect her choice to wear what makes her feel comfortable and keeps her eyes healthy. -Meghan

[@masonwillis708]

GOAT wears whatever she wants 😎

[@sylvainbuffat6058]

pardonnez moi mais même quand on est une star mondiale du trail , on enlève ses lunettes quand on est à l'antenne sur les chaines mondiales. On appelle cela de la décence à moins qu'elle est un problème aux yeux.

[@FuckAdds]

It is the day after HISTORY of female sport got a new GOAT shining beyong the niche sport of ultra trail racing.

[@laurencefichelle3715]

So impressive
