She is now married to her husband Kevin Schmidt who occasionally runs races with Courtney, but never beats her of course. The wedding ceremony took place in the summer of 2015 and was celebrated at Courtney’s parents’ house in Minnesota.

Education : Qualifications, High School & College Info

In the 7th grade, Courtney started doing cross-country and running track at her high school.
She also competed in Nordic skiing in college, which in turn helped her progress into a state champion in cross-country skiing, which eventually earned her a scholarship to attend the University of Denver.

After college, she started experimenting with various exercises & started partaking in road marathons which eventually led her to discover ultra marathons, and that is where her interest and passion began.

Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :

Courtney has an extremely impressive running career resume – The highlight of her running career was when she finished the MOAB 240 race (held in Utah) in 2 days, 9 hours, and 59 minutes. This feat was substantially faster than any of the male contestants in the race, and she also impressively beat the second runner up by more than ten hours, which is approximately twenty miles.

In 2016, Courtney set the record for the ‘Javelina Jundred,’ a 100k-race located in the desert of Arizona. She completed the women’s course in 8 hours, 48 minutes, and 25 seconds.
Besides her running, Courtney held a middle-school teaching job prior to the summer of 2017. Thereafter, she turned to full-time running. In an interview, she mentioned that as she had no children or pets, this was an easy decision to make. As a teacher, her long run would be split across four or five runs, but after going full-time, she could fit these big runs into one giant run.
In 2017, she held her record for the longest run in 24 hours, 155.391 miles at the River Bank one-day classic held in California.

More Achievements :

She is also the winner of ‘Run Rabbit Run,’ a 100 mile-race in Steam Boat Springs, Colorado, where she beat the second-place runner by 75 minutes.
In 2017, Courtney won the ‘Run Rabbit Run’ race for the second time, despite suffering from temporary blindness within the final twelve miles of the race.

In 2017, ‘Ultra Running Magazine’ voted Courtney as the ‘Ultra Runner of the Year.’

Diet, Facts, Height and Trivia :

Courtney ran her first ultra-marathon quite late in her life at age 29 – this was back in 2011, a 50k five-loop race around a local park.

The race that got Courtney ‘addicted’ to ultra running was when she competed in a 50-mile race in the mountains of Colorado. She recalls trekking through dangerous ice patches and huge mud puddles in the midst of a horrific hailstorm, which enthralled her.
During her races, Courtney likes to refuel and replenish her body of nutrients by indulging in eating mashed potatoes, waffles, Honey Stinger Chews, and Tailwind.
She also packs light when she’s competing, carrying a toothbrush and rewetting drops for her eyes to protect her from vision problems caused by lack of sleep and dust on the trails.

Besides the bodily dangers such as dehydration and fatigue, Courtney and other ultramarathon runners have a frightful chance of encountering snakes, mountain lions, bears, and scorpions on the trails.
When she is running, Courtney’s favorite motivational mantra and affirmation is, “You’re fine, you’re fine, you’re doing fine, this is fine.”
Courtney’s diet is rather flexible when she is training; she will eat most things she craves, which can be anything from hamburgers to jellybeans!
