Chasing Trail

You saw the clips, but here is the full breakdown. Teddy gives a quick race preview of the Mammoth 200 by ⁨Trailfest⁩ in this week's solo episode of Chasing Trail and Teddy Talks.

Teddy also talks about the rich history of Mammoth Lakes, California, previously known as Mammoth City back in the old days. The Mono People originally inhabited the area, until gold was found.

Join us on this episode as Teddy walks through his decision to protect the sanctity of our sport, trial running, from another self-aggrandizing documentary... So we are making our own.

Help support Teddy's run and documentary making by giving a few dollars to the GoFundMe. It's a great help, you see, we need you!

Here is the link. And remember... we are probably gonna make hats.

On this episode of Chasin' Trail, we are joined by Cocodona 250 finisher, Damon Chavez. But that's not all, he's also done the Tahoe 200, Bears Ears, Javalina, and many many more. Heck, he hasn't even ran anything less than a 50 miler. We think that is crazy, but we love it.

Damon resides in Cedar City, Utah, but was born up the road in Beaver. He calls the Tushars Mountains his home, and makes the pilgrimage back each year to run the Tushars 100k.

This year, he plans on going back and claiming is spot atop the podium. Can he do it? We think he can.

We also talk about the alleged King of Moab, ⁨@woah_max⁩ and whether or not Damon will take his crown. Will Max accept the challenge? Will he finally admit that vibes, in fact, do not win races?

Are you tired of the same old boring trail race? Are you looking to challenge yourself, see somewhere beautiful, and be treated like a rockstar?

Go visit Mad Moose Events and Kylah Ricks. This family business aims to bring trial running to the masses, with dozens of races throughout Colorado and Utah.

We sit down and talk to Kaylah about racing AND directing the same race, rogue mice in your van, and how NOT to get someone lost on a course.

We also bring back the much loved and requested, Lightening Round. We ask the important questions about trail running here, people! Kylah is also an accomplished athlete.

At only 22 years old, she is slowly making a name for herself in the running world, all while putting on the events she wins... talk about a major flex.

Join Teddy and Francesco for Episode 10 of Chasin' Trail! We talk wolves. We talk Mingus. We talk... talk.

The interview gets heated in the lightening round, as Teddy's frustration with Michelino and the Sunseri's reaches a boiling point. Somehow, Teddy wasn't aware Francesco Sunseri was the same Francesco that pays his salary. Let's just say, Teddy is having a long talk with HR on Monday.

Francesco will be running the newly created, Mingus Traverse, part of Cocodona weekend. The festivities kick off on Monday with the 250, followed by Mingus, Sedona 125, and the Flagstaff 39. If you're out there and see Francesco, say HI!

Ok so we have Holly Ryerson... Well kind of. It's actually Local Woman, who is Holly's manager. Holly is very busy, so Local Woman came on to talk about some of Holly's recent accomplishments and upcoming goals.

Please excuse Teddy for not being himself today, this threw him off and Local Woman was a bit rude. But Teddy is a professional, and professionals push on.

We talk about being famous, the smell at the UTMB start line, and future goals to run at the big dance, UTMB. We shall she if Holly gets enough stones.

So what's better, Garmin or Coros? Western States or UTMB? Tune in and find out! Make sure to follow and hit the bell thing, notification whatever. You get it.

Join Teddy and James for a preview of the Canyons 50k by UTMB. We also review the 100k and the 100 miler for good measure. Also, up for discussion is the recent return of ​Katie Schide and Germain Grangier to On Running, marking a significant shift in their professional careers.

We take our picks for the main races, explore some notable storylines, and wondering why Ryan Montgomery isn't running the 100 miler... is he going to States? Will he try to podium in a deep field? All we know is... DNF.

We are back from a long break but extremely excited to be back behind the mic.

We are excited to welcome in Jon Cox and Becca Jones, the masterminds behind Midstate Mile, a backyard ultra that tests you physically and mentally.

More importantly, they are bringing running back to it's root with their efforts in the Ultra Community.

We also talk about races making people poop in buckets (gross), Teddy hits on Becca (kinda, not really), Jon runs 100 miles (finally!)... and much much more!

This one’s gonna ruffle some fur.

Teddy dives headfirst into the wilderness to rank the Top 5 Animals Who Would Crush Trail Running — but not without controversy.
Are bears just overhyped powerlifters?
Do coyotes really have the grit, or are they just fast trash pandas with good PR?
And don’t get us started on mountain goats — great climbers, but would they even show up to a group run?

We break it all down with zero science and way too much confidence.
Expect debates, hot takes, and spiritual awakenings involving squirrels.

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.
