[@ekaterinakashapova1]

Ok we need another hour of this, please?

[@jillsy2815]

I love Courtney & Kevin so much!!! I cried the whole way thru😂

[@Mysteri0usB]

Yeah for real this video is too short!

[@andremoraes5595]

2 hours please

[@jennapaquin1486]

Seriously, how did they cram 3-100 mile races into 15 minutes?!

[@Ethic007]

Someone left way too much on the cutting room floor!

[@john14585]

GOAT! As good as the short 15 minute recap was, this should be a 3 part series!!

[@prettyneatperformance]

"I don't have a coach. I don't have a training plan." Just GOAT things.

[@fale892]

Just run mountains she reckons

[@dschoba]

Federer also used to be your own coach for years..

[@mikeh3282]

The trail running community is so lucky to have Courtney in it. Such an incredible athlete and an inspiration to so many!

[@GmonMacDady]

Enough to make a grown man cry. Truly an inspiration, and ambassador for the sport. Thank you for representing our country with strength and grace.

[@johnherd1002]

"If I get this bib on first try, we take shots" hahaha that's awesome

[@hanskrautenbichler5352]

I have a 50k in two days and i almost felt i couldnt do it. Courtney-vid pops up, now i know i'm gonna do it! Those last km on UTMB were the greatest sports moments in 2023 and beyond!

[@thefeelingiforgot]

Yes you've got this!!

[@casy6203]

Enjoy every minute of it! Be compassionate to yourself the entire time and keep drinking water!!!❤❤❤

[@VanillaUsername7]

Hope you did it and enjoyed it!

[@YungW0lf]

GOAT TALK! It was an honor to edit this documentary. The Dau Crew is different!

[@jimduyck]

That section of Courtney fan chaos at UTMB is hands down the craziest thing I've ever seen at running race. Courtney is the GOAT!!!

[@lr57ektt]

Not the first woman. The first person ever! What. An. Athlete. She is the Standard.

[@user-br1rz5wg8p]

I want to say that Courtney is an extraordinary women. Her calm, peace when she runs its an example of how she see the life

[@a-mwinkler2461]

She is so strong, the strength and determination is amazing. An idol for so many of us! ❤❤❤

[@adamribeiro]

The moment I saw a new Courtney “movie” I got so excited but also sad it was only 15 minutes 😅. Watched the whole thing with a big smile on my face. If you ever need to convince a friend why they should try an ultra race, event or whatever just show them a documentary about Courtney and her outlooks on it and that friend will go right away for a trail run!

[@naomiwood1287]

Of course I'm crying. She's just the most incredible athlete and individual, best film yet Salomon!

[@rafaelnicolascastaneda4365]

Way too short of a documentary

[@vmelchers]

I'm so inspired by her. She's a pioneer, she's so real, she's a beast. I'm running my second marathon in less than a month apart, peanuts compared to her prowess but for me it's this step in my long latter and I'm so happy to see her lead the way.

[@caseybaumberger9146]

I need more of this!!!! Full length documentary please :D

[@kadeemallory320]

May we all approach life the same as Courtney, Curious! 🙏♥️ Love You!

[@FlipAcEm]

"Connecting with people. Making shared memories. That's what it's all about." 🙌 This. Thank you Courtney, for just being you 💚

[@TheRunningBeanDPT]

This is so epic I got chills and reared up a bit when the fans showed up in mass. Such an awesome inspiration Courtney is for me.

[@christinatorressd]

I want more courtney content! 🎉

[@moncefattia1071]

One of the greatest accomplishments in sports! Mind blowing and still gives me goosebumps. Thank you for inspiring so many of us Courtney!

[@MakoTheFrog]

I don't even think most people alive today can comprehend the scope of Courtney's achievements, you could mention it in conversation and people respond with stuff like "wow that's so cool" or "that's amazing, good for her" but they don't actually understand it because most people don't train like demons or run at all, or if they do it's like 5-10k a week so they literally have no concept of what Courtney has done, their brains can't understand the scale because they don't have any relatable reference point. This is why she is the greatest of all time in my opinion, to accomplish something so alien that the rest of us can't even understand.

[@ryandoucette5966]

Awesome video. Thanks Courtney and Salomon! ♥️

[@jillsy2815]

Beautifully made!! Wonderfully inspiring Courtney, Kevin, crew and family!

[@mortonmedia]

No one is on Courtney's level! Epic film

[@mariaavinafranco8046]

Wow, I feel so inspired! Thank you for sharing your journey. I can watch this over and over again. Why am I crying?!?!?!Hugs

[@jillsy2815]

me too crying❤

[@Teeve01]

Same! I was on a bike ride and made sure I stopped to see her cross the UTMB finish line. Tears then too❤

[@ellenvoyage594]

This was great but I thought it’d be longer! Would love a full length documentary!

[@tallulahhamilton5754]

Seriously so motivational! I am 18yrs old and I just accomplished the LT Heavy Half, I missed podium by 1, but that doesn't mean that I am stopping. I am going to continue to grow and become even stronger. Someday, I want to do the LT 100, not only to prove to myself and others, but for my dad. I know that this is what I want to do and he wants me to do. He's never finished it and I want to finish it for him. Not a lot of people understand the sport of Ultrarunning. Ultrarunning: when you need more f*** this sh*t in your life. Ultrarunning brings us companions, a team, a dream, a goal, and suffering. What would be even cooler is if I was youngest person, female to finish the LT 100. Ultrarunning is my way of coping with life, it's one of the only things that really keeps me alive. 🏃‍♀💪❤

[@shawnbrennan7526]

I raced against Courtney (well, we were in the same race) at the 2017 Pikes Peak Marathon, when she was still an unknown. Even back then, she immediately stood out from most other runners just in her relaxed running style and excellent pacing on her way to 2nd place. She’s an excellent roll model for all of us. Best of luck in your LT100 training!

[@Sanko1960]

It is more inspiring than Courtney can possibly know to see her face in moments of struggle and moments of triumph and moments of joy. Thank you Courtney and Kevin and her entire Salomon team for making this film.

[@brianshaver3855]

So humble. Wonderful human. You’re providing rungs on that ladder for all us dudes too! That pain cave reference has helped me more than anything! This film is TOO short!

[@SamMcNeill]

G.O.A.T & legend who just keeps inspiring all of us! Chapeau that woman!

[@runnerscorner2994]

She's the talent, she's the legend in the Runners Corner ❤

[@Marcela.Isabel]

Freakin badass woman, badass husband and badass team!!!

[@sarah-janelowes4782]

Crying my eyes out over here. Courtney you are such an inspiration to women in sport everywhere.

[@theemporium5502]

Love this video, she is an inspiration to so many, hope to see more people follow her foot steps

[@christopherhillam7286]

That needs to be longer! I would pay to watch a 2hr documentary of that. Amazing effort and more importantly an amazing person. 🤙🏼💪🏼

[@agnes4584]

That was breathtaking. What an extraordinary athlete and human being 🥇

[@itsatanner7739]

I saw my first ultra video in March and it happened to be Courtney. After watching the video I was so inspired I decided I had to try getting into the sport myself! Fast forward to now and I only have a little over a month until my first race, a 50k, and 1 day until my first running vest, Solomon of course! Thanks Courtney and crew, and thanks to Solomon!

[@ginamariethompson1776]

I’m balling. She’s just so incredible. I love watching and hearing her story.

[@richardsenelly4209]

Thank you Courtney and thank you Salomon!

[@baseadventures9954]

Why too short? Courtney is an inspiration for humanity! Not only for runners. She is a beautiful soul with incomparable energy❤

[@cyclox73]

People overuse the phrase “the GOAT”…. But not in this instance. Courtney is truly the greatest of all time.

[@roanregnier]

Amazing video, amazing song choice by the editors. I love Tom Rosenthal!

[@LucileDugal]

We were at La Forclaz to see Courtney and the racers during the UTMB . We couldn't believe how crazy that was! I've never seen anything like it in trail running. Thank you Courtney for such a huge "spectacle". Hope to see you cette année encore !

[@dougmayer8394]

What a wonderful, insightful and downright moving film. Well done all around! :) Here's to more great things from Courtney and Kevin!

[@GelbundSchwarz]

Incredible. 15 minutes is just not nearly long enough, could easily be movie length. Court, you’re an inspiration 🙌

[@adventure_outdoors]

An absolute legend! I love the encouraging and positive way she talks!

[@TirnanHealy]

I’m 90% of the way through making a video too, you guys beat me to it 🤣

[@monikaalvarado1578]

I want more.... 15min is too short! But grateful for this film. Thank you..... Courtney needs to be celebrated! Amazing person! An inspiration indeed! Thank you Courtney for being y❤️u! 🐐🍕🌯🍻🏃‍♀️

[@Atheomerase]

Ever since I first heard of Courtney, I knew she was the type of person I want my daughter to learn about and see that limits are purely in your head. Badass going to badass! Keep crushing barriers!

[@z.thecreative8013]

Thats INCREDIBLE! Wish that was longer, so engaging!

[@Molly_Wanders]

Courtney is the best to ever do it! 🎉

[@sanders_md]

GOATED. also lowkey hype to see that stept logo at the end

[@hasappho]

Watched it once and immediately had to watch it again. Courtney is the ultimate inspiration!

[@notoriousrjg]

One of the most transformationally inspiring humans to have ever lived. Thank you Courtney!!!

[@jasbrzozowski301]

The film is very nicy but too short with this History you can make 1,5h video

[@ChristianRunsNY]

She's not a rung on a ladder, she is a whole ladder herself. Still paving the way, but she's bumping the sport into another world.

[@darthmul1890]

Courtney 💙 I hope I could meet her one day

[@dernoctum]

Inspiring ❤ I love the atmosphere of this movie

[@connieseiboth8498]

We need more of this! Awesome women, great video!!! Chapeau!!!

[@anneliesewalters7966]

Incredible!

[@musify8267]

super human yet so humble, not seeking fame or fortune just raising the bar and testing one's limit.... this is the definition of sportmanship...chapeau 🙏🙏

[@thebeardedhiker8381]

amazing amazing amazing, this was such an amazing watch!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@francescabuscicchio3704]

She’s an absolute legend. But what makes her so special is that she’s just a woman doing what she loves. You’re my fav Court 🤩🙌🏻

[@julia100801]

i love the part about it being a team sport, tears in my eyes xoxo well done

[@foowoo1]

Epic! Thank you for sharing. What a legend

[@francispilon5329]

The GOAT 🐐

[@cindydawn4252]

She is a phenom and soooo inspirational!!!! Thank you for taking us on this journey with you!!!

[@clareclaracat]

So special to hear about all the love and support that fuels her ❤ More please!!!

[@hvr]

Always happy to watch and hear Courtney. She's a great inspiration to me. And I fully agree: let this be a pilot. Now please give a three-part full documentary followed by an additional part on this year's Hardrock :) Pretty please. :)

[@marcopruefer]

Such an inspiration I almost can not put it into words!

[@gastrologic7747]

I love you Courtney. Doing my first Ultra in November at the Sainte Lyon! Thank you for inspiring me as a fellow female runner ❤

[@tisteandii3625]

Wow, just wow! This is mind blowing!!! Thanks for this video!

[@amadphantom]

This is mind-blowing.

[@charlieb7630]

Absolutely awesome - only wish it was like 2 hours long!

[@rogrudek]

Salomon! I’m hoping this 15 minute video is a just teaser for a longer version!

[@tubestar96]

she might be the most special athlete of all time

[@juh.1267]

J'ai eu des frissons... Quelle femme incroyable !

[@Ohthehorror87]

Her style is so awesome. Baggy shirt baggy shorts the sunglasses and she's just so chill. 🐐 ❤️

[@mitchellmclaughlin6360]

I wish this was a feature length film! How has nobody made a feature length film about Courtney!?

[@affluentforager5704]

i love courtney! your philosophy on running and life is exemplary!! youre so amazing!

[@Mrs.M_08]

Where's the rest of it?

[@JohnGarlandTrialLawyer]

Wonderful film. Such an inspiration!

[@andrewmitchell9794]

Wowww, thats amazing!!! We need more Courtney Dauwalter

[@asahyonne]

Such an inspiration!! And legend!

[@anacatarinalopes684]

You're amazing and thank you 😊 thanks to your parents for having and raising this incredible woman

[@CJVLOGS-fw4fz]

She is a warrior and her and shout out to her husband. You 2 are solid keep up the hard work

[@MrClemencio]

Nooiiccceeeee. Courtney made it possible

[@Shevock]

Great storytelling.

[@davidbaker5725]

Just unbelievably inspirational!!! Pure joy!

[@BigStru48]

Merci pour ce docu! Courtney est tellement inspirante par sa force et sa joie de vivre, ça fait du bien à écouter.

[@thuthuynguyen5132]

I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭. So inspirational ❤

[@MackenzieSinnott]

Need so much more of this

[@petehalupka1]

I teared up when they showed the crowd waiting for her... Wow.

[@elizabethobihfrank]

Best of the best! Courtney reminds us of the power and resilience of the human spirit.🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dbk81]

Pure heart, hard work, genuine, caring, focused, fun, positive, an inspiration for anyone and everyone on who they should strive to be as humans. The only negative thing to come from Courtney’s running career is all of the students she would have taught and shared herself with as a teacher, if only the world was full of Courtney Dauwalters!

[@Arisafari77]

I cried ! I literally cried. I don't want to wonder what if !! Is the attitude of a champion basically Greatest of all TIME mentality !! Western States, hard Rock and UTMB ! In such a short time. So many people run 100 miles races every other month or week but to win all 3 of the most prestigious races ! Back to back and set records !!!!!!!!! and her humility and grace just so inspiring. Shes not like these other runners always blasting stuff in Instagram / social media . Her running does all the talking. So blessed to see Courtney doing what she was born to do ! And having a blast even when it's not so good. I love her hummingbird kitchen window. Love you Courtney !! ⛏️🤖🥞🇺🇸🎉

[@dylan_tanner]

Great video as always! I'm pretty excited to be in the video too! (I'm the guy standing on the rock in the background in the clip from La Flegere)

[@mariflores223]

Love her! She’s amazing!!
