Why Ultrarunning GOAT Courtney Dauwalter Says Loops—Not Out-and-Backs—Are the Superior Route
We polled Dauwalter on some of running’s most polarizing questions. Take the quiz to see how you stack up.
In 2023, Courtney Dauwalter had one of the most legendary years in trail-running history, becoming the first person to win the Triple Crown of the 100-mile races—Western States, Hardrock, and UTMB—in a single season. This year, she’s showed no signs of slowing down, repeating as Hardrock champion and improving on her course record by over two minutes.
Courtney has a lot to say: “Comfort is key! I prefer [shorts with] long inseams because I am most comfortable in them. We should all wear the clothes that make us feel our best when we're out trying hard things.”
On the type of course: "I love any type of route, really, but loops definitely feel like big adventures. Not knowing what’s around each corner or what view you might be rewarded with is exciting.”
Race plan; “Early mornings feel so simple and peaceful. I love to drink my coffee and watch the sun rise while I plan out my day.
Courtney Explains: “Staying in the moment, focusing on taking the next step, and repeating a positive mantra are things I try to do during the toughest moments of any run.”
