EP 9 - LIVE SHOW! 2026 West Macs Monster winners!

About this episode

A live show featuring the winners of the 2026 West Macs Monster Trail Running Festival.

A special live show from the finish line of the 2026 West Macs Monster Trail Running Festival. Co-hosts Katie Stroud and Rohan Barwick talk to 231km champion (and previous pod guest) Mathieu Pangrazzi along with winners Victoria Cole (25km), Dan Donaldson (25km), Petra Melis-Walsh (65km), Julian Hocking (65km) and Tom Giles (128km). And as a special bonus, the (arguably) oldest competitor, 73yr old Doug Strugnell talks about why he has now done the 25km event TWICE. Recorded in the rain at the Telegraph Station on Arrernte country in mparntwe/Alice Springs.
