every ultramarathon there is, but she's still looking for the limits of the
cave. She is known as one of the best endurance athletes in the world

records like running the farthest distance by a woman in the Big Dog
Ultra.

She was always inspired by competition and enduring sports and that is why she choose ultra running. Before becoming a full-time professional

It can feel very supportive and affirming when a spouse supports and encourages one's dreams and career. It can
also create a sense of partnership and teamwork, as both partners work together to achieve their respective goals.
This type of support can be an important factor in helping individuals feel confident and motivated to pursue their
dreams and achieve success in their careers. Courtney Dauwalter's husband has always supported her and is
always on her side when she is on the tracks. He is her ultimate support and crew member.

Kevin Schmidt, Courtney Dauwalter's husband had also competed in the 100-mile bear race through Utah.
Kevin works as a software engineer when not cheering for her wife.

Kevin and Courtney met through mutual friends and wed in 2015 at Courtney's parents' home. During Kevin's
100-mile bear race, Courtney acted as his crew member and saw what it's like to be behind the scenes of such
races when she crewed Kevin and his pals during the 2019 Bear 100 ultramarathon. Crewing involves giving
runners nourishment and care at aid stations. That makes her husband a really caring and loving husband.
