In Episode 5 of Chasin Trail, we connect with Grant Barnette—​a professional ultra trail runner and endurance athlete hailing from Lenoir, North Carolina.

Grant's journey is nothing short of inspiring: at 20, he thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail, followed by the Pacific Crest Trail the next year. These experiences ignited a passion for ultra-distance challenges, leading him to dominate races like the DC Peaks 50 Miler and the Telluride Mountain Race.​

Beyond the trails, Grant balances his time working in sports marketing at Pit Viper Sunglasses and training in both the Appalachian and Wasatch Mountains. In 2025, he joined the Craft Sportswear Elite Run Team, marking a significant milestone in his athletic career.​

Join us as we dive into Grant's evolution from long-distance hiker to elite ultrarunner, the lessons learned along the way, and how he manages to keep pushing boundaries in the ultra scene, and doing it with unapologetic attitude.

On Episode 4 of Chasin Trail, we get weird (and a little wild) with James Lauriello—La Sportiva athlete, host of The Steep Stuff Podcast, and full-time mountain dreamer.

James talks trail philosophy, balancing content creation with ultra training, being a dog dad to two husky-cattle dog mixes, and why Bigfoot would probably be a chill hang on mushrooms.

We also dive into the 1-year anniversary of Steep Stuff,where they are celebrating their birthday at an upcoming live event at Colorado Running Company on March 29th—check out their page for the details.

If you like your trail talk with a side of cosmic curiosity and canine chaos, this one’s for you.

In Episode 3 of Chasin' Trail, we sit down with the real MVP—Patricia Sunseri, mother of Michelino Sunseri, who recently shattered the Grand Teton FKT. Patricia shares what it was like raising three wild boys, navigating a cancer diagnosis, and finding strength in the trail running community.

Teddy has a mission. A purpose. A truth to uncover.

But is this truth real? Probably not.

In this episode of Teddy Talks, we dive into a scandal so earth-shattering that it threatens to shake the foundation of the Western States 100… if it weren’t completely fabricated.

Will Jim Walmsley answer for his alleged (but definitely fictional) crimes? Will Teddy finally bring justice to the sport? Or… has this whole thing gone way too far?

Press play. The people deserve answers.

🚩 Are you dating a trail runner, or are YOU the red flag? 🚩

In this debut episode of Teddy Talks, Teddy dives into the hilariously questionable quirks of dating a trail runner. From their bizarre footwear choices (Altras? Barefoot running?!) to their gel-fueled diets and a very loose definition of personal hygiene, this episode breaks down the top three red flags you NEED to know before swiping right on a single-track-loving dirtbag.

Whether you’re a runner, dating one, or just here for the laughs, you won’t want to miss this one. Hit play, have a laugh, and if you’ve got a trail runner red flag story, send it in—we might just feature it in a future episode!

Chasing Trail is the trail running interview show you didn’t know you needed, and maybe still don’t. Hosted by Teddy Tonelli (aka Teddy Toes, aka a new ridiculous name every week), this show takes elite and everyday trail runners off the beaten path for unfiltered, hilarious, and slightly unhinged conversations.

Forget the motivational speeches and training breakdowns, this is about the weird side of trail running. Hallucinations at mile 80? Check. Blister horror stories? Definitely. The bizarre things runners eat mid-race? Oh yeah.
