Courtney Dauwalter | Grand Raid, Hardrock, & The Collegiate Loop

[@mbaleva1261]

I love Courtney not only because of what she has done for the sport of trail running but as someone who really knows her values. Time and again, interviewers try to shape her responses based on what they want to hear but she remains authentic to herself and courageous to stay in her values. Bravo for trying, Dylan. Standing ovation with a slow clap for the GOAT, Courtney!!

I've listened to Courtney on youtube a bunch of times. She has the amazing ability to describe the fairy tale stuff she does as just a run around the neighborhood where she had a couple uncomfortable moments. She always gives Kevin so much credit like he was her pacer. The smile and bright outlook on life she has is so consistent and refreshing. I find her a awesome human being who does things I never ever thought a person could do.

All of her conversations are just so satisfying and uplifting. Such an inspiration in the running world!

[@Freetrail]

So true!

Watching and following Courtney's outstanding performance at the Diagonale des fous was such a special moment for our sport. Another great one Dylan!

[@Freetrail]

Thank you!!

I followed for 5 years Science of Ultra, not anymore happening. I think many agree Freetrail Podcast is the best podcast on trail running out there. Thanks Dylan to keep the trail community connected, this is powerful!

[@Freetrail]

Thank you Alan!!

Love to listen to her voice & man this human soul is just amazing.! She is the best & hers was the first podcast I ever listened to on Joe Rogan and was amazed by her 10 hour gap win at Moab 240 & the passion and humbleness she possesses is astonishing.

[@Freetrail]

100%! thanks for reading.

[@thomasbowling3146]

Such a fun interview! We’re sooo excited to have Courtney coming back to San Antonio (actually Bandera) to race Bandera 100k! It’s always a fun race anyways, but the Golden Ticket adds to the spice!

[@dansouth2088]

This is just wonderful. Thank you to Courtney and Dylan.

Greetings from Réunion, an Austrian in La Réunion, it's been more than 7 years. Courtney really did the job here....

[@ianjacques6136]

I did the shorter Trail De Bourbon 109km event this year in Reunion Island and took 8 hours more than my predicted time with just how technical the terrain is. However the buzz and atmosphere around what Courtney achieved was truly amazing! I was hoping you would interview her given your participation in the event last year - wonderful interview, thank you!

[@MKHoadley]

Starting my Monday with these two legends.

[@Freetrail]

Hope you enjoy!

You’re lucky in the US to have Courtney, she is the best trail woman runner I never seen! Kiss from the French Alps 👌👍 Réunion island is French like Hawaï and the US

[@upnupagency]

Another great interview as usual. ✌

[@Freetrail]

Thanks, Bryan!

[@qcomberette]

I reckon Courtney is ready for Asia, as Zack Miller said in an interview post UTMB "Americans don't know about other places and athletes in the world" I completely agree with him and Asian trails are still such a hidden secret.

[@buckmanriver]

She talks casually about throwing up on the hardrock 100 course had having to choose to slow down to keep food in. Crazy! Inspiring.

[@johnwardlaw6204]

Awesome interview! To be honest I rip on technical downs but I am awful on the climbs so I suffer from the opposite of you and Courtney! Glad to see you have one of the absolute GOATs on your show!

[@Freetrail]

Lol, thanks for listening John!!

[@katis999]

amazing interview, thanks to the both of you :)

[@marrunslow3815]

[@waedjradi]

He's like "yeaah sure!" at 42:40 Hahahha ❤

[@sarahmcdonald6980]

Her strategy is: presence

[@Freetrail]

A great strategy!

[@sarahmcdonald6980]

@@Freetrail evidently!

[@tyjohnsrud]

Is Courtney the best ambassador for the sport of ultra running?

[@Freetrail]

Yes!

[@griffith500tvr]

Plenty have died on the Grand Raid

[@buckmanriver]

Great conversation! Just curisus if anyone has a .kml file of the Grand Raid course? I could not find it on Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Raid

[@slowjamcdub]

Such a huge inspiration and down to earth. A very rare combo to find.🫶
