200 miles!? These mega-distance races keep growing in popularity every year. But here’s the thing... no one gets through days and nights on the trail alone.
We put together a few tips to make planning and race-day crewing smoother.

Tips for Crewing 200-Mile Events - Ultra Running Magazine
Running events of 200 miles or longer are increasing in popularity year after year. The time and resources necessary for training, traveling, participating in the actual race and recovering from multiple days and nights on foot are significant.
