Backyard Ultra Podcast

Simon 'The Roach' Macauley

Simon absolutely loves Backyard Ultra's.  Since 2023 Simon has run in 5 Backyard ultras, three of which were run this year.  He recently broke through 24 the yard barrier at Reds and he is also part of Jashy's all conquering crew.

Stephanie Rosebaugh

Stephanie has been running Backyard Ultra's for less than 12 months and she's already proven herself to be a force in the format.  She ran 38 yards at Babbit's BYU in September and most recently completed 67 yards to finish as the Assist at Summit BYU (The Last Dance). That 67 yards ranks Stephanie as the sixth-best woman of all time.

Merlin Gammon - Wizardofrun

Merlin ran his first Backyard Ultra last year when he ran impressively to complete 30 yards at Wild Dog Backyard Ultra.  Merlin is currently more than halfway through a mission running from the highest tip of Australia in Queensland down to its lowest point in Tasmania.

Ned Phillips

Ned ran 22 yards in his first Backyard Ultra in 2020 when he ran for team Singapore at the Sat Champs.  Last year Ned finished as the Last One Standing and Singapore national champion which qualified him to run at the recent Individual World Championships at Big's Backyard.  Ned ran the race of his life at Big's, completing an impressive 40 yards and finishing 58th overall.

Jayden McCormack

Jayden ran his first Ultra at The Guzzler 100 in 2022.  He has run The Guzzler every year since and this year he ran it almost 10 hours faster than in 2022!  Jayden also loves Backyards and last year he ran 27 yards in his first BYU at Dead Cow Gully and then he finished as The Last One Standing at Garden City BYU.  He returned to Dead Cow this year and ran a very impressive 50 yards and a few months later he ran all the way from Sydney to Brisbane in 10 days.
