Crewing is a well-established practice in 100-mile races and plays a vital role in many runners' race strategies. And at Cascade Crest, we prioritize a crew-friendly experience.

That said, we have implemented limited crew access to specific aid stations to ensure the safety of our runners and minimize the impact on dirt road sections.

The race exists at the whim of the Forest Service, and we want to maintain our good relationship.  Crew traffic has the most significant impact on the area during race weekend.  The aid stations listed below have limited roadside parking and access.

Notes on parking/driving:

• Parking is tight at every aid station, please park sensibly.

• Exit 62 accesses Stampede Pass, Tacoma Pass and Saddle.

• To limit the impact of the race on some of the more remote roads, please limit crew support to one vehicle per runner at each station

If you have crewed at Cascade Crest in the past, we kindly request you to review this section and familiarize yourself with any recent changes that may have been made.

Crewing is a hurry-up-and-wait situation:

• Drive like every runner is your runner, and every car is carrying your best friend

• Be nice to the aid station volunteers

• Respect the rules implemented by the race

• Bring a chair, some snacks and make a few new friends

Don’t forget to attend the Crew Meeting at 8:30AM the morning of the race. See Race Weekend Schedule for more details.
