| 6/23/26 | Merlin Gammon - This is Your Life | Merlin came onto what he thought was going to be a usual chat on the podcast. He couldn't have been more wrong, with 6 guests dropping in along the way, all with their own special stories about Merlin and his run around Australia. This podcast was an experience. | 1h 43m 10s | ||||||
| 6/7/26 | Sam Christie | Sam finished as the Last One Standing at his BYU debut last year at Gil's Galavant. He later went on to finish as the assist at Garden City BYU where he ran 42 yards. Sam opened 2026 with another win at Gil's Galavant and most recently he had a huge breakout performance by running 66 yards and finishing as the Last One Standing at Dead Cow Gully. | 1h 01m 56s | ||||||
| 6/4/26 | Michael Rouleau | Michael ran his first Backyard Ultra in 2024 at BB Backyard and finished as the Last One Standing with 25 yards. Michael has fallen in love with the format and has improved his PB to 45 yards and in doing so, qualified for the Canadian Team which will be taking on the rest of the world in October at the Sat Champs. | 1h 21m 55s | ||||||
| 5/21/26 | Scott Cameron | Scott ran his first Backyard at Hysterical Carnage back in 2022 where he completed 15 yards.

| 5/7/26 | Brady Nankervis | Melbourne Frontyard Ultra was held last weekend and it turned out to be an absolute classic race. Brady Nankervis played a huge role in the race, he completed 68 yards and broke the Australian record for most yards in a Backyard Ultra Debut. It was a performance so strong it will most likely qualify Brady to run for Team Australia later this year in the Sat Champs. | 1h 11m 57s | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | Jared Webb - The Conductor | Jared Webb had run in 5 Backyard Ultra's where he had broken 24 in all of them and had a PB of 31. That was till last weekend when Jared ran at Gumby and completed 50 yards to finish as the assist in an amazing performance. | 1h 05m 44s | ||||||
