The boys are back on the Goldie and things get spicy this week.

We kick off with the T100 triathlon circus — Dubai edition.

Courtney drops a wild Thailand race story of his own (featuring cops, stray dogs and a dodgy 30km detour), and the lads unpack how course meltdowns happen even at pro level.

Then it's into the big talking point: race entry prices hitting $500. Should running be subsidised? Are events becoming music-festival expensive? And what does the future look like now that cereal brands are spamming Strava challenges?

Plus:

• Liam officially hits “mid-life crisis mode” and signs up for the UTA 100-Miler.
• Schoolies Run Clubs?!
• Banks launching “runner savings accounts”.
• Travis Barker’s run event, squeaky On Clouds, Parkrun race day, Strava fatigue & heaps more.

A big, sweaty, trail-flavoured episode. Strap in.
