UTA 2025: Mud, Hallucinations, 100 Miles: 3 Runners, 3 Challenges, 1 Goal at Ultra Trail Australia (EP13)

After four unforgettable days in the Blue Mountains, we sit down post-race to unpack the mud, the miles, and the madness of Ultra Trail Australia 2025.

In this special episode of The Cowbell, three runners — each with their own unique challenge — share what it took to conquer their goals: a first-time miler fuelled by hallucinations and determination, an adaptive athlete backing up a world record with grit and heart, and a coach who ran the UTA treble (11k, 22k, 50k) across three relentless days.

We talk sleep deprivation, solo missions, surprise aid station angels, and how cowbells in the dark can carry you to the finish line.

This is trail running at its rawest. One community. One goal. One hell of a weekend.
