Summary
Season 16, 2024, NEW LOOK! Welcome to the next chapter, Hurdlers! Courtney Dauwalter is often referred to as the goat of ultra running. In 2023, she conquered the "gauntlet" of 100-mile races, placing first in Western States 100, Hardrock 100, and the UTMB. In the first installment of 2024's Turning the Page series, she's chatting about the determination it takes not only to show up to do hard things — but keep going when the going gets tough. She also shares her theme of the year, proudest and most difficult moments of 2023, her person of the year (hint: It's not Taylor Swift), and something she hopes to do more of in the next 365.
