The Ultra Addict with Courtney Dauwalter | Salomon TV

In 2018, Courtney Dauwalter battled for two days and 205 miles on the steep, dry Tahoe Rim Trail. Lack of sleep, race mishaps and a relentless competitor pursued her as she was pushing her limits, running towards the overall victory. You can learn a lot about yourself when a race goes well, but you can learn even more when it all goes sideways.

[@SalomonTV]

A big thank you to Courtney for answering your questions and to you for watching the premiere 🙌 What is your favourite part from the episode? 💪

[@MarkGlenesk]

The ending as she is there to welcome the others - each on his/her own journey

[@andrearatkovic4048]

The cinematography, scenery.

[@4mthoppy]

Salomon TV Having an awesome role model who is tough, realistic (love the dark humor over this dark patch), strong emotionally and physically, supportive, and just an overall great ambassador of the ultra world.......just like Salomon for the cool production and glimpse into inspiring moments, people, and places. Many thanks!

[@dmngoddess]

I love the soundtrack. Very on point with the flow of the video. Can we have the full list of tracks with artists? I found only 2. And where can I get the no vocal version of "Told You"?

[@speechandfeedingkids6715]

Hey where are their sun glasses from?

[@kellensarien9039]

"That's the best part, cheering people in" - a great athlete and a great sportsperson.

[@SalomonTV]

She really is!

[@brandoncox9496]

So humble! What a beast

[@ruminmusic]

I agree, and I believe racing community for the most part are very supportive. In the few races I've run the atmosphere was amazing and everyone cheered on irrespective of age, color, race etc. It was all in zest to make the finish line. I'm addicted ever since.

[@mp2jimmay]

It also means you beat them in the race. :)

[@ButterStick564]

Imagine, you’re doing your run, about 57 miles in, you’re tired but your doing good, no one behind you or ahead of you, your alone in the race. Then, in the distance, you hear a faint voice, kind of a yell, you try to make out what you hear, and then you realize what is being said. “WHO’S GONNA CARRY THE BOATS, AND THE LOGS”, it’s David Goggins, he runs past you at incredible speeds, “CANT HURT BOAT CREW 2” he yells. Idk why I made this, just felt like it lol

[@Ivan-vw2ne]

Noahakeizer and then he picks you up and fireman carries you for the rest of the race because just running is not uncomfortable enough for him

[@SalomonTV]

😂

[@davidgoggings2181]

OMG I wasn't expecting David Goggings to show up lol.It makes me feel great that so many people know and are inspired by him.He is my greatest role model.This is also shown by the fake profile name though😂

[@marcusjohnson6412]

No matter what race you’re running David Goggins is somewhere in the distance. Stay Hard!

[@alonemike]

Made me laugh a lot harder than it should have 😂 good comment

[@courtneydauwalter2685]

Hey everyone, Courtney here! 👋 Let's watch the episode together! Feel free to ask your questions in the chat box next to the video on the right 👉 Enjoy!

[@FlipAcEm]

Thanks for being awesome.

[@Barley_runner]

Courtney Dauwalter pretty stoked to see this...almost live! Haha. Heck of a year for you and your crew 😄🍻

[@russelldiamond-webb5723]

Absolute legend. You are the type of badass women girls should be looking up to. #inspiration

[@mohamedmukthar8862]

Inspired

[@hikesteepfishhigh]

inspiring me since i started my journey to this ultra world! my first 50k is coming up quick. october 6th.!!! the ensenada trails 50k in ensenada, baja california norte, mexico. 10, 000 ft of elevation gain

[@tedcoombs7762]

"Hey Kyle how you doing?" "I'm delusional"

[@fambacalp8917]

"weelcome"

[@davidhernandez8327]

LMFAO

[@BDMotorsport]

How can you not love Courtney. Even when absolutely broken she's smiling and looking on the bright side, looking for the positives 👌

[@SalomonTV]

Absolutely, Barry! Nothing but love and respect for her!

[@user-sl6zh6zh3z]

I wish i was an ultra addict instead of a drug addict

[@karimahsan341]

Go get rehab man. You can pull through it. This girl pulled through 250 miles you can definitely do it.

[@seanmulholland7597]

Most addicts become addicted to running.. it’s what I’ve done .. it’s amazing the runner high .. and how good you feel after every run and there after

[@seanmulholland7597]

Karim Ahsan 200 miles aint shit lets see her don cold turkey heroin detox while running 10 miles bitch.. while throwing up and shitting on yourself

[@Kasolojooo]

Eminem got off opiates/benzos and got super addicted to running... it saved him from relapse

[@michaelgrimes5588]

I’ve done both, pretty much same thing, I found drugging to be more tiring tho...

[@Dennis4523]

When I saw this video I thought I was in for some meth head addicted to meth . But running is cool too

[@Wafinoodle]

pretty much yeah

[@PaulisInclusion]

Dennis 4523 same 😂

[@ronaldpettifurd5957]

Possibly the most underrated comment

[@graciejiujitsu4542]

Yeah low key.. lol

[@soilgrasswaterair]

Me too until I read it over and saw ”ultra” in the title and then I figured it must be sports because I’ve only seen it in connection to sport and never drugs. In a way running on this level becomes a drug considering how much dopamine the body will release it is the epitome of reward for the body released by the brain in the same ways drugs will release that ”reward” (even if it’s toxic it engages the same mechanisms in the brain).

[@colton4261]

“If I get lost, hurt, or die it’s my own damn fault” lmao that vocal contract

[@Wesz808]

Awesome! Having an ultrarace this october. After the last I felt really depressed for quite a while. Later I found out that a lot of people have similar experiences. I like the fact that this video doesn't show just the heroic, perfect parts.

[@SalomonTV]

Glad you liked the authentic and honest approach 🙏🏻

[@tjflash60]

'This is the best part of it all cheering people in.." Awesome running and attitude.

[@bretstevens262]

The world needs more Courtney Wauwalters on it. She's too cool and such a awesome person!

[@mortdog]

I don't think the world as any Courtney Wauwalters

[@cyclox73]

Courtney you are a true inspiration! And Max Romey you crushed that edit! Amazing work.

[@SalomonTV]

We're with you on this, they both did an amazing performance!

[@Fitness23]

"no sanity, no dignity" where is my Courtney shirt??? so would buy that Salomon

[@esp_09]

so would I

[@jamesharbour460]

This sort of thing is just pure inspiration for making change. The edit was awesome, and the more I learn about Courtney the more I admire the hell out of her. The cheering people in at the end was beautiful. Truly.

[@WilsonRidge]

"and then you get there and you get the thing...it's cool!" Love that

[@cejay67]

I love it. What a simple way to express it. Amazing athlete.

[@SaraPomerance]

Courtney I love the pain cave or the strength building place. For me it is a privilege, truly a joy and an honor to workout beyond my limits, after having been through usual brutalizations,violence by multiple people entrapment yaddi I don’t share this for any woe only to say there is nothing that can break the human soul. It is the greatest opportunity to have endurance, compassion, strength, and enjoy what building lessons can be found in facing the uncomfortable head on. Love the positivity, the humility and the shourtneys! No tight clothes over here either ☺️Thank you for being exactly you! Much respect.

[@slcncr]

Courtney is the definition of mental ( and of course physical ) strength.

[@SalomonTV]

Yes!

[@insideaikoslens]

I like that they wrote “Candy / Short Connoiseur” 😅 what an incredible woman 🙏🏻💪🏼

[@SalomonTV]

😅🙌🏻

[@AntonBlagov]

Salomon TV please more of this! Courtney is an inspiration! Not only the best ultra runner but the most humble.

[@SalomonTV]

YES Anton, stay tuned for more episodes, soon :)

[@pattysgotacamera]

That path in the beginning was from a book called Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. The oath was said prior to embarking on a swashbuckle of a course. Fun fact!

[@rockymountainrider9805]

"Broken down and stripped of everything." Except that GIANT LION HEART inside your chest! 👊💪💪💪

[@SalomonTV]

She's a machine! 💪🏻

[@imagineaplace]

Congrats to Courtney on her finish and to the Salomon team for documenting a great story - fun to watch!

[@SalomonTV]

Thanks, glad you liked it :)

[@jenk9324]

Gosh i just love her attitude! She is not only an amazing athlete but an amazing person. Cant wait to see what else she does!

[@robbiegreenslade]

She's a hero. Absolute Legend!

[@stefan2473z]

Support crew that asks 'what do you need?' sooooo much better than asking 'how do you feel?' She's got a great setup!

[@billkuhl4051]

I understand the mental toughness these people have because I've had to develop mental toughness for my anxiety disorder

[@sdjgfashjasbfasd]

I watched the live tracking feed of this race for hours. I couldn't go to bed during the second night. What an amazing lady.

[@SalomonTV]

We feel you Alan, such an amazing performance from Courtney!

[@redunicorn7760]

Her personality is the real winner. Absolutely amazing!

[@prtzy]

Good work Max with documenting such a harsh and beautiful event and making something so cinematic! As always, super crazy hard work by Courtney. You are amazing!!!

[@SalomonTV]

They both nailed it!

[@erdub84]

We need to find better words than inspirational. Courtney inspires inspiration to be better. Absolute savage badassery

[@themadlad8540]

I am a powerlifting fat guy and this chick is my hero

[@kaismith9878]

I ran 10 miles one time

[@kyleb337]

Hey, you’re ahead of probably 90+% of people

[@thersten]

Same. After which, I was thinking, "why am I beating up me knees?"

[@tonyu674]

Incredible ambassador to the sport, amazing spirit and overall beautiful human! 👏 🏃‍♀️ 💯‼️

[@SalomonTV]

Couldn't have said it any better!

[@heymrguitarman7637]

Courtney might just be my favourite athlete of any sport globally. Wonderful stuff

[@WayneWBishop]

Amazing, the heart and attitude of a real champion. I really hope Solomon is paying her a ton of money.

[@RezaGholamir]

I loved this video. True legend in the sport. Thanks so much! I've recently started my KZbin channel on Trail running and fast packing and I'm so excited seeing the sport growing rapidly.

[@Jalypso]

Really enjoyed this. Incredible from everyone involved. Felt Kyle should have got a bit more of a mention at the end, even if just a paragraph of text at the end. As he did win the race by nearly half an hour.

[@matrixmanify]

Jalypso he probably does get mentioned...in his video

[@kateemmerich2374]

I want to START everyday with a Courtney Dauwalter video. She = INSPIRATION. I am amazed at how you show us how to push the limits!

[@SalomonTV]

Good thing you can watch this as many times as you want now :D She's inspiring on so many levels! Get after it!

[@straizz9876]

I'm not even an ultra runner but she is such an inspiration.

[@michaellaverty1844]

I can’t get enough of Courtney. She’s so inspiring! I’m a old geezer and my best running in behind me but I still enjoy the challenge.

[@PhilipLynnJackson]

Awesome! Great job Salomon! And even GREATER JOB Courtney. What an inspiration! The most I've run is 50k, so "hats off" doesn't begin to show my respect for you! I'm 55 and hoping to run a 55k on my 55th birthday this year...wish me luck!

[@SalomonTV]

Awesome Philip, way to go! Good luck! 💪🏻

[@TRSWOODWORKING]

You're so awesome Courtney! Thanks Salomon for capturing this. EPIC

[@kristinegoodman7534]

Love! Thanks for distracting me from my homework for 10 minutes :)

[@SalomonTV]

haha! #SorryNotSorry

[@LanceWinslow]

My gosh, she's got the best possible attitude. Love it.

[@SalomonTV]

👊🏻

[@cferrario40]

From a 52 y/o public schools SLP, that is a very happily married heterosexual mom of 2...biggest girl crush! #fangirl Our world needs more of you - but HE broke your mold. Just keep running to your own drum! Hats off to your family - your papa- they raised you right girl. Then you chose right in your hubby. Please keep running but more importantly... keep high stepping and setting the example for the kids. I know you left teaching but please keep your credential- down the road- see your ability to change lives! They are watching and believing .... ALL of it.. and it’s not ALL about running. 🎩 off.

[@helaynelehman668]

Thank you for being a good human, Courtney. 😊

[@brianharder7714]

Nice work, Max. A great story the needed to be told and done so with aplomb.

[@Budsport_TV]

This woman is ridiculously inspiring. Mind over matter at its best

[@SalomonTV]

100%

[@fortchhh]

THE CHAMP IS HEREEEEEE

[@ssliger11]

Ok, I’m impressed. What a remarkable person. Thank you for sharing a little of Courtney’s story.

[@kerynklein5605]

Great vid, loved it! Such an epic distance and Courtney is phenomenal and Candice is a legend for organising it

[@SalomonTV]

Agreed!

[@averagerunner_]

This was awesome!

[@SF_Native]

Record pace, or needing the entire 4 days to finish this race is an absolutely amazing accomplishment.

[@kaido4532]

“Keep going, even though it feels like your legs are going to shatter.”

[@genevafrench]

Courntey is incredible.

[@dmbourgeois]

[@callilavarnway166]

this is beautifully filmed and edited video. 👍

[@RRP3168]

Haha! Candy and short connoisseur! That was funny! And nacho's too! I really admire the toughness of this woman!

[@judithkepes996]

Excellent storytelling by the videographer. More like this please!

[@floridatrailrunner9262]

Agreed! Love seeing this on races! 🤗

[@eyesopen9477]

Sooooooo the camera guy tied you or?

[@heyitschels7]

Haha probably on bike while in the wooded trails and driving to where they’re tracking her.

[@johndouglaswarner]

Congratulations, Courtney! So inspiring!

[@robertz768]

Not that she wast cool before, but in the last minute of the video, she became a rock star, the way she felt about the people finishing 2 days after her.

[@SalomonTV]

Yeah right? Love seeing this kind of moments... That's what ultra trail running is all about!

[@supa1501]

I have only one word...RESPECT!! 💪🤙👍🔝

[@will006]

Incredible athlete and amazing attitude. Very inspiring!

[@GlidingChiller]

Videos like this and sponsorships for people like Courtney are one of the reasons why I keep buying gear from Salamon even though I am just a little amateur scrub and don't even need high quality gear for my runs.

[@SalomonTV]

Thanks for the support! 🙏

[@Junkorgem]

When you say what I’m your pack while running. Favorite part.

[@tombargerstock3419]

Totally worth it!!!

[@fibonacci3844]

[@mr.mueller7704]

This is everything

[@lotrgirl275]

That's a great achievement, but she should definitely start using some sunscreen!

[@maggie0285]

Find the otherside of the dark patch. That is my new motto for my life!

[@zundee4182]

inspirational. humbled🙌. her down to earth personality and of her support crew. and her honest opinions of what she suffers through are the reasons that it is inspirational to watch her.

Courtney, you are awesome.

[@SalomonTV]

YES, she is!

[@surindervirdee2466]

Anybody catch the quote from Born To Run: "if I get hurt, lost of die, it's my own damn fault." It's what Caballo Blanco says before he leads everyone across the bridge in Creel.

[@christylac8280]

Simply an inspiring human!
