How to Assemble the Best Crew and Pacer Team for Your Ultra Race | Crew Cast Ep. 1

Your crew and pacers can make or break your ultra race.

In this episode, Alyssa and Joe break down what it actually takes to build the right support team for race day. From choosing the right people, to setting expectations, to avoiding common mistakes that can derail an otherwise great race, this conversation is packed with practical advice for ultrarunners who want to set themselves up for success.

They also share personal stories from their own experiences at races like Cocodona, Javelina, Hurt, Moab, and more, along with lessons they’ve learned about trust, communication, race-day energy, and what separates an okay crew from a truly great one.

Whether you’re preparing for your first ultra with crew access or trying to level up your race-day execution, this episode will help you put the right people in the right roles when it matters most.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to choose the right crew members and pacers for your race

The biggest mistakes runners make when building a support team
How to communicate expectations before race day
What makes someone a truly great pacer
