IMTUF 100- 2025

Welcome back to Ultra Crew Hub, the show where we dive deep into the grit, strategy, and heart that make ultrarunning possible — not just from the athletes, but from the crews who carry them through the highs, lows, and everything in between. Today, we’re heading to the rugged mountains of McCall, Idaho for one of the toughest and most beloved races in the Northwest: the IMTUF 100. And joining us is a powerhouse team that tackled it head-on. We’ll be talking with Vernon, the runner who took on IMTUF’s brutal climbs, unpredictable weather, and relentless terrain. But as every ultrarunner knows, no one gets through a hundred miles alone — so we’ve also got his incredible crew: Lisa, Natalie, and Colby. These three helped keep Vernon moving mile after mile, making decisions, solving problems, and doing everything short of running the race themselves. We’ll break down the strategy, the chaos, the emotional moments, and the stories that only happen during a 100-miler in the Idaho mountains. Whether you're a seasoned crew chief or dreaming of your first pacing gig, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Let’s get into it

Kelee took on the challenge of the Superior 100 and battled through the Sawtooth mountains to finish as the 3rd female overall — an amazing accomplishment on this unforgiving course. Meanwhile, Lee held down the fort on the crew side, navigating aid stations, logistics, and the highs and lows that come with supporting an ultrarunner across 100 miles. Together, they’ll give us the full picture — what it’s like to race Superior from the runner’s perspective and what it takes behind the scenes to crew it successfully. So, settle in — this is the story of the Browns at the 2024 Superior 100.

The Bear 100 Directors Cut - Cody Draper

Today we're diving deep into one of the most iconic and beautifully brutal ultramarathons in the West — The Bear 100 from the eyes of Race Director Cody Draper. This legendary 100-mile race kicks off in Logan, Utah, and winds its way through the stunning Wasatch Mountains, ultimately crossing the border to finish in Fish Haven, Idaho, near the shores of Bear Lake. And if you’ve never been to Northern Utah in late September, let me paint the picture for you — golden aspens, fiery red maples, and crisp mountain air that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. The Bear 100 isn’t just known for its jaw-dropping scenery — it’s also widely recognized as one of the best-organized ultramarathons out there, thanks in large part to Race Director Cody Draper and his incredible team of volunteers. The race has a reputation for being both brutally challenging and warmly welcoming. It's the kind of race where the community vibe is strong, and the finish line hugs in Fish Haven are hard-earned. And of course, behind every runner grinding their way up the endless climbs and rocky descents, there's a crew — dedicated, tired, sometimes freezing, but always cheering like crazy. Today, we're peeling back the curtain on what it takes to crew the Bear 100. We'll hear stories from crews who chased their runners from aid station to aid station, braved the nighttime mountain chill, and celebrated like crazy when their runner finally made it to that finish line. We’ll also share tips, tricks, and lessons learned so you can crush it next time you're crewing at Bear or any 100-miler. So settle in, and let's dive into the wild, beautiful, and totally unpredictable world of crewing the Bear 100.

Welcome to Ultra Crew Hub, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of crewing ultramarathons—where strategy, endurance, and a whole lot of heart come together to help runners conquer the toughest courses. Today, we’re heading to the heart of Big Sky Country for one of the most awe-inspiring races in the ultra world—the Crazy Mountain 100!

The Crazy Mountains are steeped in history, holding significance for the Apsáalooke (Crow) people, who have long called these lands home. Running and crewing here isn’t just about the physical feat—it’s about honoring the land, its history, and the cultures that have shaped it. And then, there’s the Montana ranching lifestyle—where hard work, independence, and a deep connection to the land define daily life. This rugged spirit carries into the race, from the runners grinding through the brutal climbs to the crews toughing it out at remote aid stations, ready to push their athletes forward. And let’s not forget—race director Megan DeHaan has put together a top-tier event with flawless logistics, an incredible race experience, and some of the best swag in the sport. And when you’re not on the course, you’ll experience that true Montana hospitality—whether you’re grabbing a post-race meal at a local diner or gearing up at a hometown outfitter.
