Hey, fam, welcome to free trails, trail getting coverage of the double golden ticket race weekend to kickoff 2026, two incredibly exciting races taking place on different continents.

The Black Canyon 100K happening in Arizona and the TerraWara 102K happening down on the North

Island of New Zealand between these two races. Of course, 10 coveted spots on the line for the

26 Western States 100. And as usual, those golden

tickets have brought out some dogs, some amazing athletes to compete across these fast but tough

courses. What you're about to hear is the audio from the live shows that we're doing every

evening on YouTube. We've got creative teams at

both races in this entire week. We're doing live stream trailgating coverage for trail fans to

stay fully up to speed on the races as they unfold. The shows will all be available here in

the podcast feed, but of course we would love it. If you join us live on

YouTube, we'll start at 5 p.m. Pacific time every single evening, and we hope to see you in the chat.

The entire week of coverage is also made possible by our good friends at all conditions gear.

The much anticipated ACG Ultrafly was just released this week to rave reviews. I've actually been running

a bunch in the Ultra Fly myself. Of course, the shoe that Caleb wore to victory at Western

States. I can personally tell you they are legit fast and super comfortable, potentially even

a hard rock shoe for me. We will see. You'll hear more from ACG during

the show, but of course we super appreciate their support. The 2026 racing season is here. Trailgating

coverage begins anew. We are so happy you're here. Best sport ever.

All right, folks, we are so back.

Tonight I am joined by three prolific co-hosts.

We got the whole team together here tonight, starting in my top right here.
