Courtney Dauwalter is a well-known name in the world of ultrarunning, and her recent win at the Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) is a testament to her abilities. The UTMB is one of the most challenging races in the world, spanning 106 miles and covering the Alps of Switzerland, France, and Italy, with 32,940 feet of elevation gain.
