Courtney Dauwalter wins the 2019 UTMB Mont-Blanc after running for 24 hours, 34 minutes and 26 seconds. It was her first try. #UTMBMONTBLANC #UTMB2019 #ROADTOUTMB
She runs for 24 hrs straight to win the race. Instead of sitting down and hydrate, she hugs her husband. Then runs around to give a 1000 fans a high five. What a amazing person and champion.
It's funny to say but this is a relatively short race for her. She runs the triple crown 200 series in America. That's the bigfoot 200 Mile, Tahoe 200 and Moab 240. Shes a beast
She is such a beautiful human being. Whenever I have a crappy day I watch this again. Always, ALWAYS, Makes my day better! Thank you Courtney for being you!
This woman is so incredible I love her desire and determination what a super woman the something special and emotional watching someone go thru these ultra marathon
Had my eyes glued on UTMB live streaming all night long as I watched Courtney do her final but brutal ascent to Tête aux Vents and to see her arriving at the finish line in Chamonix! Such an unforgettable coverage and what an inspiration she is!😍
She was a champ in high school, winning everything without much effort, she just decided to become a teacher and then returned to being an athlete and returned to winning. A lot.
The most mutually Joyful end to any sporting competition i've ever seen. Totally authentic. Ultra running , in itself, humbles the people doing it, and, watching it. Relief achievement and appreciation.The relief from the competitor in finishing the course, and also the relief that the crowd has knowing she got home safely. All everyone sees is the finish and the start and the pre/ post race interviews. When you are up there in the elements the mind fighting the body for some form of harmony and survival it must get lonely. I saw the finish and it brought a tear to my eye. Bog standard stuff for her i suppose thankfully in a world that still rresponds to humility and endeavour but that may need reminding what its all about from time to time.
A great video, which i have watched over and over again. However, something odd happens 1min 20sec into the clip. The camera is behind Courtney with the river directly on the right hand side of the course. When the picture changes to view Courtney from the front the river has gone? The race time doesn't seem to indicate that the video has been clipped?
Yes a very good spot but I wouldn’t be too concerned they have trackers on them so their finish times would be accurate that’s all that matters. Good spot though. I love Courtney she has been my number 1 inspiration for my running and becoming a better runner. I come back to this video a lot as well. I will be on that start line one day it’s my ultimate running goal. I was a very big guy a few years ago but got into running and have lost 100 pounds I’m becoming a better runner all the time and could never have dreamed to run an event like this but one day I will.
they know how to do these things in Europe, the people turn out to cheer on the athletes. You don't get crowds at bicycle races in the US like they get at the Tour de France either.
