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
