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!

This race is more than just a challenge—it’s a journey through Montana’s untamed landscapes, historic ranch lands, and the deeply sacred territory of the Crow Nation. 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.

So lace up, crew members, because the Crazy Mountain 100 isn’t just a race—it’s a Montana adventure woven with history, grit, and the spirit of the land.
