Episode 10 - Megan DeHaan - The Crazy Mountain 100

Megan DeHaan is a Montana rancher, mom of two boys, and race director of the Crazy Mountain 100, taking place on July 24th 2026 for its 5th running. If you start reading about and following this race, you will quickly find that Megan has set a new standard for what a 100 mile race can be - an incredibly beautiful but rugged mountain course traversing through both private and public lands, a diverse community of friends and family helping to put it on, and can we talk about that incredible custom silver buckle and the rest of the race swag??!! This is truly an epic event with an old school vibe that only Montana can hold.

In this episode, we talk about Megan's ultrarunning backstory and influences which have forged the Crazy Mountain 100, learn about the folks helping her to put it on, and do a bit of a course and aid station preview. Yours truly will be on the start line in just a few weeks and I was so glad to chat with Megan about her race from a participants point of view.
