The man of many names - Timmy Moffatt joined us for today’s episode! We chatted Herdys (which he won) , Dead Cow Gully, crewing for the Goat Phil Gore, and of course a few fan favourites - hypotheticals!

In this episode we spoke with Hollie Shield, a Bundaberg-based, badass Trail Runner who recently smashed her backyard ultra PB, successfully completing 25 yards at Dead Cow Gully!

Hollie chats to us about her training, her race and how the mind is key to achieving your goals!

It’s a long episode! Strap in!

The week that was!! We recall our races from the 2025 Dead Cow Gully backyard masters, as well as many others - including our much requested pre race tent chat (aka the 6-man-10-min giggle fest)

It’s race week! Dead Cow Gully is around the corner and the Snails chat last minute preparations for our races. We go through a few of the top dogs - the elite men and woman who could be set for some huge totals this year. And of course our new favourite segment - Duncan’s Conundrum!

Good luck to everyone running and crewing at the Gully! Make sure you come say hello and grab a Heaps Normal beer from the boys!

The Road to Dead Cow Gully - part 2!

More wisdom bombs are being dropped on us as we are joined by some more huge guests!

If you are running a backyard ultra then you are crazy to not listen to this one!
