 Ultra Widow FAQs

  • Crewing means supporting your runner before, during, and after the race. That can include preparing gear, setting up at aid stations, handing off food and hydration, and keeping their spirits up when the miles get tough.

  • Not at all! Most crews start with little to no experience. With preparation (and a good checklist), you’ll learn quickly. Every race teaches you something new — even seasoned crews are always adjusting.

  • Crewing = supporting at aid stations

    Pacing = running alongside your ultra runner

  • This is a place for spouses, partners, pacers, and crew to share stories, strategies, and encouragement.

    Being an Ultra Widow isn’t just about race day, it’s the months (sometimes years) of training leading up to it. It’s about keeping life on track while your runner chases miles.

    Overwhelming? Sometimes. Rewarding? Absolutely. Because you’re part of something bigger than a medal or buckle.
